Bruno Mars leads nominations for 2017 American Music Awards

With eight nominations including Artist of the Year and Video of the Year, Bruno Mars leads the pack of nominees for this year’s edition of the American Music Awards.

The announcement was made early yesterday by two-time AMA nominee, Ciara as she made an appearance on the Good Morning America show.

Coming closely behind Mars are Drake, Ed Sheeran, Kendrick Lamar and The Chainsmokers who all earned five nominations each.

However, the choice of nominees has been condemned for lack of female representation. Besides those specifically tagged “female”, other categories were mostly dominated by male artistes.

The 45th AMAs will be broadcast live from the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, 19 November.
