Drake is having a phenomenal year in music. His album Views is the first album to stream a billion times on Apple Music. This album also gave him his first number one ever with “One Dance”. He’s had monster collabs with Rihanna and a successful tour.
With this big year in music, the AP reports that Drake scored 13 American Music Award nominations surpassing Michael Jackson who had 11 with Thriller.
Drake beat the field by a lot considering the next most nominations is Rihanna with 7 followed by Adele with 5 and Beyonce with only 4.
Hard to see Drake having the most nominations with Rihanna and Beyonce releasing such masterpieces and Adele doing her usual by destroying album sales.
How do feel about Drake receiving the most nominations surpassing Michael Jackson and where do you rank his album with the rest of 2016’s releases?
