The 2022 American Music Awards Nominations

The nominations for the 2022 American Music Awards are in! On Oct. 13, the full slate of nominees were revealed, kicking off with the best new artist category, which was presented by Becky G on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Dove Cameron, GAYLE, Latto, Måneskin, and Steve Lacy all scored nods following their successful year in music.

The rest of the nominations were announced on the American Music Awards social media channels, with Bad Bunny taking the lead with a whopping total of eight nods, including his first nomination for artist of the year. If Bad Bunny takes home all eight awards, he would tie Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for the most awards in a single year. Close behind are Beyoncé, Drake, and Taylor Swift, who all scored six nods, and Adele, Harry Styles, and The Weeknd, with five nominations each.

The American Music Awards will air live on Sunday, Nov. 20, from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. See the rest of the nominations ahead.
