Billie Eilish is among the top nominees for the 2019 American Music Awards.
The 17-year-old is up for Favourite New Artist against Luke Combs, Lil Nas X, LIZZO and Ella Mai as well as Favourite Pop/Rock Album, Pop/Rock Artist, Alternative Rock Artist, Social Artist, and Music Video (“Bad Guy”).
Eilish is only the second female artist (after Lorde in 2014) to be nominated in the Alternative Rock category.
Some of the other leading AMAs nominees this year are Ella Mai, Lil Nas X, Post Malone and LIZZO.
Lil Nas X’s ubiquitous “Old Town Road” remix with Billy Ray Cyrus has several noms, including Favourite Song and Collaboration of the Year.
The list of nominations, announced Thursday morning, includes returning champs like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. If Swift wins Favourite Pop/Rock Female Artist, she will be first to win it in two consecutive years since Céline Dion did 20 years ago.
Canada will once again be represented at the AMAs by Shawn Mendes and Drake.
Mendes is up for Social Artist as well as Collaboration of the Year for “Señorita” with Camila Cabello. At last year’s AMAs, Mendes was named Favourite Adult Contemporary Artist for the second time.
Drake, who has won five AMAs from 34 previous nominations, is nominated this year for Artist of the Year, Favourite Male Pop/Rock Artist and Rap/Hip-Hop Artist. For Artist of the Year, Drake is competing against Ariana Grande, Halsey, Post Malone and Taylor Swift.
The 2019 American Music Awards will air live from Los Angeles on Nov. 24.
Nominations are based on “streaming, album and digital song sales, radio airplay, social activity and touring” between Sept. 28, 2018 and Sept. 26, 2019, according to a release. Winners are determined by fan votes.
