The music categories have some of the industry's hottest names competing against each other, including Shelton, Drake, Shawn Mendes, Justin Timberlake and The Weeknd in Favorite Male Artist and Adele, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Rihanna and Britney Spears in Favorite Female Singer. The Favorite Group category includes The Chainsmokers, Coldplay, Fifth Harmony, Panic! at the Disco and Twenty One Pilots. Many of these artists are also nominated for Favorite Album, including Rihanna's Anti, Grande's Dangerous Woman, Shelton's If I'm Honest, Beyoncé's Lemonade and Drake's Views.

Many social media and YouTube stars are nominated this year, including Nash Grier, Cameron Dallas, Jacob Sartorius, Shane Dawson, Miranda Sings, Tyler Oakley and PewDiePie.
