Nominees

With 55 categories in total and nominees ranging from three to five per category, there’s a lot of ground to cover. The marquee awards include Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Female Artist, Top New Artist, Top Hot 100 Song, and Top Billboard 200 album. You can find a full list of nominees in each category here. Post Malone leads the way with 16 nominations while Lil Nas X received 13 nominations, and Billie Eilish and Khalid both received 12.
