    It’s a joke at Justin Bieber being nominated for anything after that lackluster album and these terrible performances in oversized hoodies. Nobody will watch this. Nobody cares.

    • akathexfactor October 28, 2021

      He’s nominated for the collabs which are doing really good on the charts! I’m gonna to need you to keep up hun. 🙄

    • Ugghh October 28, 2021

      Lol besides Cardi you listed all white/white passing…

      And don’t bring back an argument talking about normani because this ain’t about her and she ain’t the only dark skin artist out here. And if you can’t think of any, don’t you think that’s an industry problem?

      • Clarks0o00ñ October 28, 2021

        Posting facts always gets u mad MAD but u will deal.

      • Ugghh October 28, 2021

        Clarkson I swear you just comment to argue. And you always miss the actual question. Never did I say you made up the list. I asked don’t you think there is an issue with that list, but continue being incompetent. I don’t even know why I even attempt to interact with someone who I know is one dimensional

    • Dc October 28, 2021

    Congratulations to Dua Lipa. 5 songs over 1 BILLION streams and she has only released two studio albums.

  12. Adele Fan October 28, 2021

    Adele already getting nominated wow that was fast. Congrats!! I’m not surprised when you have TWO Diamond Certified Albums you have nothing else to prove.

  13. Huh? October 28, 2021

    Who is buying Don’t Go Yet current sale is 0.69 cents? Oh Na Na comes out on Friday. Please don’t forget to purchase the second single.

    • Clarks0oñ October 28, 2021

      Who is streaming wild side?
      50 million streams after 4 months of release.
      A whole cardi feature
      Charted in only 5 countries overseas

      😂😂😂

      Wild side is viral on tiktok but nobody even bothers to go stream the song.
      Smh

      • Dc October 28, 2021

        Wild side still moving up billboard hot 100 so somebody must be buying it huh

      • Clarks0oñ October 28, 2021

        Nobody is buying it

        That song is moving up the charts thanks to only radio payola. Urban radio keeps playing the song multiple times every night.

        50 million streams after 4 months of release.

      • Dc October 28, 2021

        Can wait till Friday see how Camilla single will flop I’d be embarrassed if I were you between Cinderella flop and Don’t Go flop Camilla proved she needs help only hits were with young thug and Sean Mendez she flops without a feature couldn’t even go diamond solo without young thug 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  14. akathexfactor October 28, 2021

    ‘Easy on Me’ is nominated and it just dropped? 😑

  15. James October 28, 2021

    DaBaby is definitely blackballed by the industry due to his antics. Levitating is one of the biggest songs of the year not nominated. I’m not surprised that they’ve decided not to nominate the remix version of Levitating. He ruined it for Dua. You best bet when you cross the line you won’t get nominated. Congrats to Dua on her AMA nominations. Even the AMAs didn’t nominate the collab version of Levitating. They decided to nominated the original version in the Pop song category lol. I’m not surprised. Dua better win another AMA. She technically has 1 and a Latin AMA.
