In addition to a nod for artist of the year, the Canadian singer's song "Peaches," featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, is nominated for best collaboration, best pop and best editing. DJ Khaled's song "POPSTAR," featuring Drake, helped snag Bieber, who stars in the music video, two additional nods, for video of the year and best direction. Beiber's song "Holy," featuring Chance the Rapper, was also nominated for best cinematography.

Megan Thee Stallion earned six nominations, including one for artist of the year and four for "WAP," her mega-hit with Cardi B, in the video of the year, song of the year, best collaboration and best hip-hop categories. Her collab with Lil Baby, the remix for his song "On Me," also snagged a mention for best hip-hop.

Following closely behind were Billie Eilish, BTS, Doja Cat, Drake, Giveon, Lil Nas X and Olivia Rodrigo with five nominations each.
