Kendrick Lamar is the leading contender for the 2025 American Music Awards, with 10 nominations in results announced Wednesday. The nearest runner-up is Post Malone, who has something else to celebrate besides his just-wrapped Coachella headlining stint, with eight noms.
Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey are tied for third in the nominations count with seven apiece.
Close behind them is Taylor Swift, described as “the winningest artist in AMAs history,” who has six opportunities this year to add to her historic total of 40. Swift is far from the only one with six nominations; sharing that number are Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter and SZA. Landing five noms apiece are Benson Boone, Hozier and Zach Bryan. (Scroll down for a complete list of nominees.)
