Beyoncé leads in the music field with three nominations, including Female Artist of 2022. The global icon also earns nominations for Song of 2022 (“Break My Soul“) and Album of 2022 (Renaissance).

“Break My Soul,” co-written and co-produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, was released as the lead single from Beyoncé’s hit album Renaissance.

The house track, certified gold by RIAA, topped multiple Billboard charts, including the Hot 100 and Adult R&B Airplay chart.

The Weeknd snagged two nominations, including Male Artist of 2022 and Album of 2022 for Dawn FM.

His follow-up to 2020’s After Hours was issued in January via XO/Republic Records and featured the singles “Sacrifice” and “Gasoline.”

He quickly expanded his fifth studio album and titled it Dawn FM (Alternate World). The updated LP featured three additional tracks, including “Take My Breath (Remix) with Agents of Time, plus the previously shared “Moth To A Flame” featuring Swedish House Mafia.

Chlöe, Muni Long and Steve Lacy each land New Artist of 2022 nominations.
