Billboard reports the nominations show the degree to which women dominated pop radio in 2023. All five nominees for pop artist of the year are women: Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus, Rodrigo, SZA and Swift.

By contrast, all five nominees for hip-hop artist of the year are men: 21 Savage, Drake, Future, Gunna and Lil Durk.

Three artists showed their versatility by being nominated as artist of the year in two genres. Jelly Roll is nominated for both country artist of the year and rock artist of the year; SZA for both pop and R&B artist of the year; and Foo Fighters for both rock and alternative artist of the year.

Jack Antonoff is the only creative who is nominated for both producer of the year and songwriter of the year.

This year’s show will include five new categories focused on pop and K-pop: pop artist of the year, pop song of the year, K-pop artist of the year, K-pop song of the year and best new artist (K-pop).
