The nominees for the 2017 Billboard Music Awards were announced this morning on ABC’s Good Morning America and it looks like it’s going to be a huge year for Drake and The Chainsmokers.
Both music acts landed a remarkable total of 22 nominations, allowing them to hit the all-time record for most nominations in a single year.
During the morning’s broadcast, Julia Michaels and Fall Out Boy musician Pete Wentz announced the nominees for Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard Album, Top Billboard 200 Album, and Top Hot 100 Song. The remaining 47 categories were announced on Billboard’s website.
While Adele holds the record for the most BBMAs won in a single show, after winning 12 awards last year, there may be a new all-time record holder for most wins ever because, besides Drake and The Chainsmokers conjuring up 22 nominations, Twenty One Pilots landed 17 nominations and Rihanna will be up for 14 awards as well.
