LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s a sweet day to be The Weeknd.
The R&B artist is leading the nominees at this year’s Billboard Music Awards with 16 nods in categories such as top artist, top hot 100 song and top Billboard 200 album.
Justin Bieber is following behind the “Can’t Feel My Face” singer with 11 nominations, including top artist and top male artist.
Fetty Wap and Drake are each up for 10 awards. Drake will compete against himself in the top rap album category with “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” and his collaboration with Future on “What A Time To Be Alive.”
Adele and Taylor Swift are tied with eight nominations, including top artist, top female artist, top Billboard 200 artist and top Billboard 200 album — all of which Swift won at last year’s ceremony.
