Taylor Swift and Drake are the joint-most-decorated BBMAs artists of all time, and either could break the tie in style by winning the night's most prestigious prize, the Top Artist award. Zach Bryan, Sabrina Carpenter and Morgan Wallen are the other nominees.

Charli XCX’s now-infamous 'brat' album is up for Top Dance/Electronic Album, Billboard have found four fill-ins to compete for the Top New Artist award with Tommy Richman and, in a real noughties throwback, blink-182 and Linkin Park are both in the running for Top Duo/Group.
