iHeartRadio Music Awards: Räumen Taylor Swift & The Weeknd ab?

Während sich die Musikwelt diese Woche ihre Aufmerksamkeit vor allem den Grammys widmet, verschärfte iHeartRadio die Konversation mit der Veröffentlichung der Nominierungen der iHeartMusic Awards 2016.

Taylor Swift führt das Rennen mit acht Nominierungen, gefolgt von The Weeknd, der siebenmal nominiert wurde. Die beiden Künstler stehen in Konkurrenz in den Kategorien Song des Jahres (“Blank Space” VS. “Can’t Feel My Face”) und „Album des Jahres“ („1989“ VS. „Beauty Behind the Madness“). Für letztere Kategorie wurden auch Adele mit „25“, Ed Sheeran mit „X“ und Sam Smith mit „In The Lonely Hour“ nominiert. 

Die nun zum dritten Mal stattfindende Veranstaltung enthält 31 Kategorien. Im letzten Jahr waren es nur zehn Kategorien. In den Kategorien „Bester Coversong“ und „Bester Filmsong“ können jetzt zusätzlich Preise abgestaubt werden. Einige Kategorien beziehen sich explizit auf Fans. “Bester Songtext” und “Beste Fan-Armee”.

Wer welchen Preis abstaubt, erfahren wir am dritten April in Los Angeles. Bei so vielen Kategorien kann es aber auch nicht so schwer sein, den ein oder anderen Preis zu gewinnen…
