The Weeknd leads the 2021 Billboard Music Awards nominations with 16 nods.
The 'Save Your Tears' hitmaker's acclaimed album 'After Hours' - which was snubbed at the Grammys - is in contention for Top Billboard 200 Album and Top R&B Album.
The 31-year-old megastar is also up for Top Male Artist, Top R&B Artist, and Top Hot 100 song for 'Blinding Lights'.
DaBaby is up for 11 prizes and Pop Smoke has been posthumously honoured with 10 nominations.
Meghan Thee Stallion las landed nine nods, including Top Rap Song and Top Selling Song for 'Savage'.
The 'Hot Girl Summer' hitmaker will go up against herself in the two categories, as her Cardi B collaboration 'WAP' is also nominated for the two awards.
Taylor Swift - who is up for four prizes in total - will go head-to-head with The Weeknd's 'After Hours', Lil Baby's 'My Turn' and the late Juice WRLD's 'Legends Never Die' for Top Billboard 200 Album.
And the coveted Top Artist prize will either go to Drake, Juice WRLD, Pop Smoke, Taylor Swift or The Weeknd.
The Billboard Music Awards take place on Sunday, May 23.
