The 2025 American Music Awards nominations have just dropped, and it's all about Kendrick Lamar! With a record-breaking 10 nominations, Kendrick is in the spotlight, followed closely by Post Malone with 8, and a trio of superstars—Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Shaboozey—who each snagged 7.

Kendrick, fresh off his iconic Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, is being celebrated for his album 'GNX,' which went straight to No. 1 on the Billboard charts and made waves in the industry after outshining Drake in a much-talked-about rap feud. His nominations include high-profile categories like Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, showcasing his incredible influence in music.

Post Malone, who just wowed audiences at Coachella, is also in the running for Artist of the Year and Album of the Year, among others. His fan-favorite collaborations and country tracks are reflected in his nominations, including dual entries for Collaboration of the Year.

Meanwhile, Billie Eilish is making waves with her third album, 'HIT ME HARD AND SOFT,' and her sold-out worldwide tour, earning her nominations in every major category, including Favorite Touring Artist and Favorite Female Pop Artist.

Chappell Roan has emerged as a pop culture sensation and queer icon, earning nominations including New Artist of the Year, highlighting her meteoric rise in the music scene. Likewise, Shaboozey has had a spectacular year, grabbing five Grammy nominations and celebrating a No. 1 hit with 'A Bar Song (Tipsy).' His seven AMAs nods reflect his country music crossover success.

Other notable nominees include Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Morgan Wallen, and Taylor Swift, each with six nominations, demonstrating the competitive landscape of this year’s awards.
