Kendrick Lamar leads American Music Awards nominations

Kendrick Lamar has received 10 nominations at the American Music Awards. The rapper leads with nominations for top categories like Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. If he wins in all eight categories, he could match Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for the most awards in a single year. Post Malone follows with eight nominations, while Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Shaboozey each have seven nods. Taylor Swift, who has won the most AMA awards since the show began in 1974, is up for six this year. The event, known as the world’s largest fan-voted awards show, will be broadcast on CBS and Paramount+ on May 26, with Jennifer Lopez set to host.
