Billboard Music Awards 2024 Nominations

The 2024 BBMAs is presented by Marriott Bonvoy and will air on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 8:00 pm ET/PT on Fox and Fire TV Channels, and on-demand on Paramount+, with performances also rolling out across Billboard.com, and via BBMAs and Billboard social channels. 

 

 

The artists with the most nominations are Zach Bryan, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen and Sabrina Carpenter and are the leading finalists for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

 

 

The BBMAs honors the year’s biggest artists, albums, songs, producers and songwriters across multiple genres, as determined by year-end performance metrics on the Billboard charts. The eligibility dates for this year’s awards need to be within the Billboard’s Year-End Charts tracking period, which measures music consumption from the charts dated October 28, 2023 until October 19, 2024. 

 

Zach Bryan is in the lead among the 2024 BBMA finalists. He is up for 18 awards with 21 total entries. Taylor Swift, the most decorated female BBMAs artist of all time, is a finalist in 16 categories with 17 total entries. Morgan Wallen, who won the most BBMAs in 2023 (11), has 15 finalist entries in 13 categories this year, including five for “I Had Some Help” with Post Malone. 

 

Sabrina Carpenter is in fourth place in terms of most mentions this year, with nine entries. Other artists who are finalists five or more times are Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, Teddy Swims and Tyla (eight each); Bad Bunny, Benson Boone, Chandler Moore, Jung Kook, Naomi Raine, Shaboozey and SZA (six each); and KAROL G, Linkin Park and Maverick City Music, five each. 

 

Teddy Swims, Tyla, Benson Boone and Shaboozey are first-time BBMA finalists, as are Tommy Richman (four), Falling in Reverse (three), Forest Frank (three), Junior H (three), Chappell Roan (two), ENHYPEN (two), Muni Long (two), and The Red Clay Strays (two). 

 

Taylor Swift and Drake are currently tied for the most BBMA wins by any artist – 39 each. They are also tied for the most wins for Top Artist, having won three each. They are both nominated for Top Artist again this year, where they are competing with Zach Bryan, Sabrina Carpenter and Morgan Wallen. 

 

Three new awards have been added this year – Top Hard Rock Album, Top Hard Rock Artist, and Top Hard Rock Song. HARDY is represented in each of the three categories; Falling in Reverse and Linkin Park are represented in two of them. 

 

 

The artists that are receiving cross-genre recognition include Beyoncé, Dolly Parton and Post Malone. 

Bad Bunny is vying for his fifth consecutive win as Top Latin Artist. This year, he is competing with Fuerza Regida, Junior H, KAROL G and Peso Pluma.
