To honor the awesome works of our favorite country music artists, let’s review the list of nominees for the 2020 American Music Awards ‘Country’ category.
10,000 Hours
Dan + Shay is leading the way as their collaboration with pop star Justin Bieber “10,000 Hours” is nominated for the All Genre-Category Collaboration of the Year.
Dan + Shay will be facing some of the biggest names in the music industry which include, Cardi B ft. Megan Thee Stallion, “WAP” DaBaby ft. Roddy Ricch, “Rockstar”, Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande “Rain On Me” and Megan Thee Stallion ft. Beyoncé, “Savage Remix.”
