Rihanna and Bieber are among the five nominees for Artist of the Year, along with Drake, Maroon 5 and Katy Perry. For Favourite Pop/Rock Album, Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ competes against Bieber’s ‘Believe,’ One Direction’s ‘Up All Night,’ and Maroon 5′s ‘Overexposed.’ This year also features a new Favorite EDM Artist category that pits Skrillex against David Guetta and Calvin Harris.
The American Music Awards are entirely fan-voted, so which army of diehard supporters can provide the most online clicks will determine which artist goes home as the big winner. Last year, Taylor Swift scored the biggest haul with three victories, including Artist of the Year.
The 2012 AMAs air live from Los Angeles on ABC Nov. 18. Get yourself over to the official show website to cast your votes now.
