Taylor Swift, Adele, Harry Styles, Beyoncé and Latin superstar Bad Bunny are among the top nominees for this year’s American Music Awards.
Bad Bunny leads all nominees with a total of eight, while Beyoncé, Drake and Taylor Swift are close behind with six nods apiece. Taylor holds the record for the most AMA wins of all time, with 34. Adele, Harry Styles and The Weeknd each have five nominations.
Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Drake and Taylor are all up for Artist of the Year, a category that also includes Adele, Harry Styles and The Weeknd. If Bad Bunny wins all eight of the categories in which he’s nominated, he’d tie both Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for most awards in a single year.
Elton John is nominated for Collaboration of the Year for his Dua Lipa duet “Cold Heart” and for Favorite Touring Artist, making him the longest-recognized artist in AMA history: He was first nominated back in 1974, at the very first American Music Awards, for Top Pop/Rock Male.
Fan voting is open now at VoteAMAs.com and via Twitter in all award categories, except Favorite K-Pop Artist, voting for which begins November 1.
The American Music Awards air Sunday, November 20 at 8 p.m. EST/PST on ABC, live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
