The nominees for the first-ever YouTube Music Awards have been announced. The roster is filled with popular names like Lady Gaga, Eminem, Justin Bieber, One Direction and Miley Cyrus. But there are some lesser known artists in the mix. Check out the full list of nominees below.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis lead the pack with a total of three nominations. Justin Bieber, One Direction, and PSY each follow with three nominations. But there’s also some fan-video categories — “Response of the Year” and “YouTube Phenomenon” — where songs by Macklmore and Lewis, PSY, and Taylor Swift also received at least one nomination each.
There’s also a category that honors lesser seen videos, but praises the “Innovation.” Atoms for Peace, Bat for Lashes, and Toro y Moi are among the nominees in that category.
As previously reporter, Eminem, Lady Gaga, and Arcade Fire will perform at the event, which is hosted by actor and musician Jason Schwartzman. Reggie Watts will join Schwartzman as co-host, and Avicii, M.I.A., Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, and others have been added to the bill.
The event is set to take place on November 3 at New York City’s Pier 36, and it will be live-streamed. Fans can vote for their favorite nominees via YouTube. Check out the full list of nominees below.
