Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry, John Legend Lead 2014 American Music Awards Nominations

The 2014 American Music Award nominations are out, and fans are going to have a hard time making their choices.

Iggy Azalea leads the nominations with six nods, including new artist and single of the year, as well as favorite female artist in both the pop/rock and rap/hip-hop categories, plus a nod for favorite rap/hip-hop album. (Rap true believers may struggle with this year’s rap/hip-hop nominees as the category consists exclusively of Azalea, Drake and Eminem.)

Katy Perry and John Legend each got five nominations, including artist and single of the year — for “Dark Horse” and “All of Me,” respectively — while Pharrell Williams and Lorde each earned four nods.

Aside from Azalea, new artist nominees include Aussie boy band 5 Seconds of Summer, “All About The Bass” singer Meghan Trainor, Sam “Stay With Me” Smith, and alt-rockers Bastille.

In the Artist of the Year category, Azalea has some serious competition from Beyoncé, Katy Perry and One Direction, whose army of so-called Directioners are sure to turn out in force to vote for the boy band. Since the AMAs are awarded only on fan votes, being able to get out the vote is key. (That’s one thing that One Direction fans have in common with the 1960s Chicago Democratic political machine.) One Direction does face some possible vote splitting for the tween vote, though — going up against Lorde, Katy Perry, Iggy Azalea and Beyoncé herself in the Artist of the Year category.
