Justin Timberlake and Macklemore lead the charge at the MTV European Music Awards with five nominations each.
The pair are closely followed by Robin Thicke, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber who have four nods, while Taylor Swift and One Direction are up for a trio of awards.
Other big name nominees include Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Daft Punk, Rihanna, Eminem, Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding.
Now celebrating its 20th year, the MTV EMAs ceremony takes place at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on Sunday 10th November.
At last year’s event in the German city of Frankfurt, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber were the biggest winners of the night scooping three awards apiece.
Despite dominating the nominations with six nods, sensationally Rihanna went home empty handed.
