Bieber will lead all nominees going into the awards show with seven nods, including Artist of the Year, Collaboration of the Year for "Peaches", featuring Giveon and Daniel Caesar, and Video of the Year for "Popstar".
Megan Thee Stallion follows closely behind Bieber with six nominations. She is pitted against the "Yummy" singer in the fierce competition that includes such contenders as Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, and Olivia Rodrigo.
Megan additionally picks up double nominations for Best Hip Hop, thanks to her "WAP" collaboration with Cardi B and Lil Baby's "On Me" remix. The other nominees in the category are MoneyBagg Yo, Polo G, Drake featuring Lil Durk, and Travis Scott featuring Young Thug and M.I.A.
Newcomer Polo G is also up for Best New Artist, fighting for the coveted prize with 24kGoldn, Giveon, The Kid Laroi, Olivia Rodrigo, and Saweetie. Last Year's Best New Artist title went to Doja Cat.
