Kendrick Lamar Leads 2025 AMAs Nominations, Followed by Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey

The nominees for the 51st American Music Awards have been announced, and Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with a staggering 10 nominations — the most of any artist this year.

On April 23, CBS and Dick Clark Productions revealed the complete list of nominations for the upcoming 2025 AMAs. Kendrick Lamar earned the most with 10, followed by Post Malone with eight and Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey with seven each.

If Lamar, 37, wins in all 10 categories, he’ll tie Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for most awards in a single year.

This year’s slate of nominees includes first-timers Benson Boone, Doechii, Gracie Abrams, ??Jelly Roll, Lola Young, The Marías, ROSÉ, Teddy Swims, Tommy Richman, Tyla, Sabrina Carpenter and Zach Bryan.

Fans can vote for the artists they want to take home trophies on VoteAMAs.com and the awards show’s Instagram profile. Voting closes May 15 at 11:59 p.m. PT for most categories, except collaboration of the year and social song of the year, which will remain open through the first 30 minutes of the ceremony.

The 2025 American Music Awards, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, will air May 26 at 8 p.m. ET live from Las Vegas on CBS and will stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.

Lopez, 55, will also perform at the ceremony. Other acts taking the stage will be announced soon.
