Artist of the Year: Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, The Chainsmokers, Ed Sheeran.
WHO WE THINK WILL WIN: This is one of the hardest categories out there to pick from, but we have a feeling Bruno Mars will be (24k) golden this year!
New Artist of the Year: James Arthur, Julia Michaels, Niall Horan, Post Malone, Rae Sremmurd.
WHO WE THINK WILL WIN: Again, all solid contenders here with incredible career debuts. But you know I am the biggest Niall girl in town, so I simply have to call it in his favor.
Collaboration of the Year:Â The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey, “Closer”; DJ Khaled ft. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Wayne, “I’m the One”;Â Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber, “Despacito”;Â Maroon 5 ft. Kendrick Lamar, “Don’t Wanna Know”; The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk, “Starboy.”
WHO WE THINK WILL WIN: All of these are some of the strongest collaborations we’ve seen in some time. But since JB has two chances at picking up this award, we’re going to say that “Despacito” was the biggest song of all!
Video of the Year:Â Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber, “Despacito”;Â Bruno Mars, “That’s What I Like”;Â Ed Sheeran, “Shape of You.”
WHO WE THINK WILL WIN: While “Despacito” is sure to pick up a win at the AMAs, we think this category is all Bruno!
