Luke Bryan


Luke Bryan dominates the finalists for the inaugural American Country Countdown Awards, with seven nominations in categories including Artist of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, Album of the Year, and Digital Song of the Year (“Drink A Beer,” “Play It Again,” and “This Is How We Roll”).
Closely following Bryan are Florida Georgia Line with six nominations, including Artist of the Year, Group/Duo of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, Album of the Year, Digital Song of the Year (for “This Is How We Roll” and “Dirt”).
Jason Aldean picked up four nods, while Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert tied with three nominations.
The American Country Countdown Awards will air from Nashville’s Music City Center on Monday, Dec. 15, beginning at 8 p.m. ET on FOX. Bryan is a featured performer during the evening, as well as Florida Georgia Line and Miranda Lambert. Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley will serve as hosts for the awards.
Finalists were announced this morning (Nov. 11) on Cumulus’ nationally syndicated radio show, “America’s Morning Show with Blair Garner.”
Finalists are determined by statistics and radio airplay charts from Nov. 1, 2013 through Oct. 31, 2014. Finalists for Album of the Year are based on album sales from Soundscan and finalists for Artist of the Year are based on a combination of Mediabase airplay, digital data from Big Champagne and tour information from Pollstar. All other award categories are made of those with the largest audience reach according to Mediabase.
The only fan-voted category is Breakthrough Artist of the Year Presented by Samsung Galaxy. Fan voting begins Nov. 24 and continues through Dec. 10. Fans can vote by including the following in a tweet: the artist’s Twitter handle, “Breakthrough Artist,” and the hashtag #ACCAwards.
