    Lizzo

    2019 has been an immaculate year for Lizzo. The rapper has garnered EIGHT nominations, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year and Best Urban Contemporary Album for “Cuz I Love You” and Record of the Year for her viral smash hit “Truth Hurts”!

    Billie Eilish

    And it’s fair to say, it looks like Lizzo has some competition in the form of Billie Eilish – who has seven nominations. Billie’s debut studio album, “when we all fall asleep, where do we go?”, has been nominated in both Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, while “bad guy” is up for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. She’s also been nominated for Best New Artist.

    Up for six awards is Lil Nas X, who had a massive 2019 in the form of his hit single “Old Town Road”, which featured vocals from Billy Ray Cyrus. The song has been nominated for Record of the Year, while its music video is up for Best Music Video. The rapper is also nominated for Best New Artist, and his debut EP, “7”, has been nominated for Album of the Year.

And you’ll be pleased to hear that Ari has achieved five nominations, including Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Record of the Year for hit single “7 rings”!
