2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards nominees announced
Drake and the Chainsmokers made out quite well in this year’s crop of nominees for the iHeartRadio Music Awards, with the Canadian rapper earning 12 nominations, narrowly beating out the “Closer” duo’s 11.
Drake’s nods include Song of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Hip-Hop Artist of the Year. He also nabbed three of the five nominations for Hip-Hop Song of the Year -- for “One Dance,” “Controlla” and his collaboration with DJ Khaled, “For Free.”
Other multiple nominees included Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Beyonce -- who was somehow shut out of the Female Artist of the Year category.
“The biggest artists in music show up every year because this is the awards show that fans truly control,” iHeartRadio president John Sykes said. “With iHeartRadio now reaching such a diverse audience, this year we have expanded to giving awards in more than 30 categories.”
Drake leads 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards nominations
Drake and the Chainsmokers lead the nominations for this year’s iHeartRadio Music awards, iHeartMedia and Turner announced Wednesday morning.
Drake is up for 12 trophies at the fan-driven fete, including song of the year for his summer smash “One Dance,” male artist of the year and hip-hop artist of the year. The Chainsmokers are right behind Drake, with 11 nods. The electronic duo is up for new artist and song of the year for its breakout single “Closer,” featuring Halsey.
Bruno Mars was announced as the first performer for the show, which will air live from the Forum in Inglewood on March 5 on TBS, TNT and truTV. The ceremony will also be simulcast on iHeartMedia stations.
Ahead of last year’s telecast, the fledgling production — its only in its fourth year — underwent a complete overhaul.
The ceremony shifted to the Forum, a much larger venue than the Shrine Auditorium, where it had been held since its debut in 2014, and moved from NBC to Turner’s suite of networks. And there was an exhaustive addition of awards.
Dozens of new categories were added, covering an array of genres (including alternative rock, hip-hop, R&B, Latin and regional Mexican music) as well as artist categories and trophies for film songs and, keeping in line with the show’s heavy emphasis on social media, most meme-able moment.
Additional fields were added this year, expanding the awards to more than 30 categories. Awards for producer of the year, label of the year and music video will be handed out for the first time during the March telecast.
Beyoncé, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Twenty One Pilots and Sia are among the other multiple nominees.
The 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards will air live March 5 at 8 p.m. Eastern time on TBS, TNT and truTV. Online voting is open for a number of categories — including lyrics, cover song, social star award, song from a movie and fan army.
