The MTV Video Music Award nominees were announced yesterday and Lady Gaga led with 13 nominations.  That’s more VMA nominations than has been received by any other artist in a single year.  Eminem had the second most this year, with eight.

Gaga received 10 nominations for “Bad Romance” and three for “Telephone”, her collaboration with Beyoncé.  Meanwhile, Beyoncé got five nominations for  “Video Phone” which was her song featuring Gaga.  (Apparently, the “Telephone” nominations belong solely to Lady Gaga, and the “Video Phone” nominations are strictly Beyoncé’s.)

Paramore singer Hayley Williams is also enjoying some multiple nominations.  Her band is up for Best Rock Video for “Ignorance” and she’s featured on the B.o.B. hit “Airplanes”, which is up for four awards.

It’s probably also worth noting that Taylor Swift and Kanye West are both up for one award each.  It was at last year’s VMA’s that Kanye stole the mic from Taylor after she won Best Female Video for “You Belong With Me”.  (You know, because he desperately wanted the world to know that Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” was one of the best videos of all time.)

This year’s awards go down on September 12th.  Voting is open until August 24th and you can cast your vote HERE.
