Iggy Azalea and Sam Smith are tied at the top.
The 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards finalists were unveiled on Wednesday and the Australian rapper and British singer-songwriter each received five nominations, including ones for Artist of the Year and Best New Artist. NBC will broadcast the award show, now in its second year, live from Los Angeles’s Shrine Auditorium on Sunday, March 29 at 8 p.m.
Luke Bryan, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift are also up for Artist of the Year, with Grande and Swift hot on Azalea and Smith’s heels, with four nominations each.
Smith’s breakthrough single “Stay with Me” was nominated for Best Song of the Year and Best Lyrics. The 22-year-old-singer was also nominated in the Best Dance Song category for his work as a featured artist on Naughty Boy’s “La La La.”
Azalea isn’t up for Song of the Year, but she is nominated twice in the Best Collaboration category for “Problem” (with Grande) and “Fancy” (with Charli XCX). The rapper, who reportedly feuded with fellow nominee Nicki Minaj last year, is also nominated in the Renegade category.
Smith could wind up taking five trophies home in March, but Azalea’s double nomination in the Best Collaboration category means she would top out at four. Swift could also win four trophies on the back of her album “1989,” which sold 1.2 million units in its first week.
The inaugural 2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards telecast drew in 5.5. million viewers and made 8.5 billion social media impressions. Big winners included Lorde (Best New Artist) and Rhianna (Artist of the Year).
