Bad Bunny leads AMA 2022 nominations with Taylor Swift, Drake and Beyoncé close behind

The 2022 American Music Award nominations have been announced with Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Drake being seen the most in this list. They are all up for artist of the year.

The 2022 American Music Award nominees have been announced and the artist to look out for this year is Bad Bunny, who is leading with the most nominations. 

Bad Bunny has a total of eight AMA nominations this year, which includes his first nomination for artist of the year. If he takes home the title for all eight of his nominations, he could tie with Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for the most wins in a single year. Last year, BTS won the coveted artist of the year award. 

Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are the most nominated female artists this year and each have six nominations. Of these six, the two will go head-to-head in three categories, artist of the year, favorite female pop artist and favorite pop album. 

Swift holds the record for most AMA wins of all time with 34 wins and has the record for most wins in the artist of the year category with six. Also with six nominations is Drake, who is also up for artist of the year. 

HARRY STYLES SAYS TAYLOR SWIFT WASN'T INSPIRATION BEHIND SONG ‘DAYLIGHT’ 

With five nominations each are Harry Styles, The Weeknd and Adele. All three artists gained a nomination for artist of the year. For any of the three nominees, they could be taking home their first ever win in that category. Styles won artist of the year twice while he was part of One Direction, but this could be the "As it Was" singers first win as a solo artist.

While there are a lot of veteran AMA nominees on the list, there are also a lot of first time nominees getting some attention, including Jack Harlow with four nominations, Tems, also with four nominations, Latto with three and BLACKPINK with one. 

Along with first nominees come some first time categories. New categories that have been added to this year's AMAs are favorite k-pop artist, favorite afrobeats artist, favorite rock song and favorite rock album. 

The AMAs will be held at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. They will air live on November 20 at 8 p.m. EST/PST. Fans can vote for their favorites in every category except for favorite k-pop artist, which will open for voting on November 1.
