It's a big year for the American Music Awards! Not only is it the show's 40th anniversary celebration, but some of the biggest artists in the world are up for top honors! Nicki Minaj and Rihanna are leading the nomination pack with four nominations each, but Justin Bieber and One Direction aren't far behind, with three nominations each!
Justin has racked up three nominations for "Artist Of The Year," "Favorite Male Artist -- Pop/Rock," and "Favorite Album -- Pop/Rock" for "Believe." Our favorite British-Irish boy band are up against their good friend Justin Bieber in the "Favorite Album -- Pop/Rock" category for their debut album "Up All Night," and are also nominated for "Favorite Band, Duo, or Group -- Pop/Rock," and "New Artist Of The Year."
