/by

The nominees for this year’s E! People’s Choice Awards were announced Thursday (Oct. 1), with Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett, and Kane Brown leading the country nominees.

Shelton competes with artists including Bad Bunny, DaBaby, Justin Bieber and Drake for the all-genre The Male Artist of 2020 title, as well as The Country Artist of 2020 category.

In addition to nominations for The Country Artist of 2020, both Thomas Rhett and Kane Brown are included in The Soundtrack Song of 2020 for their work on “On Me” alongside Ava Max for the Scoob! soundtrack.

Dan+Shay are one of eight nominees, alongside BTS, BLACKPINK, Chloe X Halle and more, for the all-genre The Group of 2020 honor, though curiously they are not included in The Country Artist of the Year category.

Overall, Justin Bieber and Megan Thee Stallion are up for the most honors, with six nominations each. Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga follow with five nominations each.

Voting begins today in 44 categories spanning music, film, television and more. The E! People’s Choice Awards will air Sunday, Nov. 15, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, from Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. As previously announced, Jennifer Lopez will be honored with the People’s Icon of 2020 award.
