Ariana Grande leads the pack at the upcoming MTV European Music Awards with seven nominations.
The 26-year-old singer is up for the prestigious Best Artist award, but will have some tough competition in the form of Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, J Balvin, and Miley Cyrus. She will also compete for the Best Video gong for Thank U, Next, Best Song for 7 Rings, Best Pop, Best Live, Best Act (Home Region), and Biggest Fans.
And while Billie Eilish is a relative newcomer in the music industry, she is also sure to enjoy success at the ceremony, which will take place on 3 November in Seville, Spain.
As well as being up for Best Song for her smash hit Bad Guy, Billie will compete in the Best New Artist category against Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Ava Max, Lewis Capaldi, and Mabel.
Both Old Town Road star Nas and Shawn are also up for six awards, with the latter nominated alongside collaborator and real-life girlfriend Camila Cabello in the Best Collaboration category for their tune Senorita. Nas will compete in that category too, with his worldwide smash Old Town Road.
Latino star Balvin is up for five nominations, while Taylor and Lizzo both received four.
