Iggy Azalea continued her monster year this morning, earning six nominations for the 2014 American Music Awards. The Australian hip-pop artist — who has already won the Rap Summer of 2014 — was nominated for Artist of the Year, Best New Artist, Favorite Female Artist — Pop/Rock, Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist, Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album, and Single of the Year, for “Fancy.” Katy Perry, John Legend, and Pharrell all tied for the second-most nominations, nabbing five nods apiece.
Nine other musicians are competing with Azalea for Artist of the Year, as the category was expanded from five to ten nominees this year. Beyoncé, Luke Bryan, Eminem, Imagine Dragons, John Legend, Lorde, One Direction, Katy Perry, and Pharrell Williams are all duking it out with Azalea for the top spot.
Meanwhile, the five songs competing for Single of the Year are “All of Me” by John Legend, “Rude” by Magic!, “Dark Horse” by Katy Perry with help from Juicy J, “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, and, as mentioned above, “Fancy.”
Taylor Swift was last year’s big winner, but it’s up to fans to vote and decide who will win big in 2014. The AMAs are on Sunday November 23, where they’ll be broadcasted live on ABC from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
