Will Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” triumph at the American Music Awards?
The 2025 American Music Awards nominations were announced on Wednesday, with Kendrick Lamar — who already has three AMAs — leading with 10.
Post Malone has eight nominations, and Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey have seven nominations each.
Taylor Swift — the winningest artist in AMA history — was nominated in six categories this year, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist and Favorite Pop Album.
Beyoncé is in the running for Favorite Female Country Artist, Favorite Country Album and Album of the Year.
First-time nominees include Doechii, Jelly Roll and Tommy Richman, among others.
The show will be hosted by Jennifer Lopez and air live on Memorial Day.
Marketed as the world’s largest fan-voted awards show, voting is now open in all award categories via voteAMAs.com and the American Music Awards’ Instagram page. Voting closes on Thursday, May 15, at 11:59 p.m. PT, with the exception of Collaboration of the Year and Social Song of the Year, which will remain open through the first 30 minutes of the AMA’s broadcast.
Nominees are based on key fan interactions, as reflected on the Billboard charts. That includes streaming, song and album sales, radio airplay and tour grosses. Measurements are tracked by Billboard and Luminate.
The American Music Awards were first awarded in 1974, and were created by Dick Clark. The AMAs this year will pay tribute to U.S. troops and veterans through performances.
