Bryan leads the race with a solid 18 nominations across 21 entries. His breakout success has been nothing short of meteoric, from last year’s wins for Top New Artist and Top Rock Album to this year’s “I Remember Everything,” a triple-chart dominator.
Then there’s Swift, the reigning queen of the BBMAs, with 16 nominations and a chance to surpass Drake’s all-time win record. Her album “The Tortured Poets Department” shattered records, becoming her 14th Billboard 200 No. 1 and holding the top spot for 12 straight weeks.

Wallen, the reigning king of country, isn’t slowing down either. With 15 nominations, including five for his hit collab “I Had Some Help” with Post Malone, Wallen’s unstoppable streak includes back-to-back Songs of the Summer chart-topper and a record-breaking run on the Billboard 200 and “One Thing at Time.”
Meanwhile, Carpenter has definitely been working late, because all that singing has made her a first-time finalist in nine categories, including Top Artist. Her hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” have catapulted her to the tops of streaming, making her the first solo act in 60 years to land two top-three Billboard Hot 100 hits from a debut No. 1 album.
