TYLA RECEIVES 8 BBMA NOMINATIONS
Tyla has taken the world by storm and the proof is in the pudding with eight nominations for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.
The event, set to take place on 12 December in Los Angeles, is one of the biggest nights in the music industry, especially if you’re not from North America.
Tyla has been nominated in six different categories. Three of her tracks have been nominated for best Afrobeats song. The category only has five slots.
The categories in which she’s been nominated are top R&B artist, top R&B female artist, top Afrobeats artist, top R&B album for her self-titled debut, top R&B song, and top Afrobeats song for Jump, Truth or Dare, and Water.
Country artist Zach Bryan has the most nominations (21 in 18 categories), followed by pop star Taylor Swift (17 in 16 categories).
Although this is Tyla’s first time being nominated, she shares the same number of nods as Post Malone, Teddy Swims, Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
