The Academy of Country Music (ACM) revealed the nominations for the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards live on The Bobby Bones Show. Leading the pack among nominees are Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen, with Megan Moroney also earning multiple nominations across key categories.
Morgan Wallen received six nominations, tying with Luke Combs for the most category nods this year. Wallen’s album One Thing At A Time is nominated for Album of the Year; that release dominated the charts, spending 18 weeks at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and tying Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ the Wind for the most weeks at No. 1 for a country album. Wallen’s hit single “Last Night” is also up for Single of the Year. The song set a record as the longest-running No. 1 solo track in Hot 100 history, spending 16 weeks atop the chart. Last year, Wallen won Male Artist of the Year at the 58th ACM Awards and is again a leading contender for that category.
The 59th Academy of Country Music Awards will stream live worldwide on Prime Video on Thursday, May 16. The telecast begins at 8 p.m. EDT / 7 p.m. CDT / 5 p.m. PDT from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Fans can also watch the official ACM Red Carpet on Prime Video as well as the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch and Amazon Live, beginning an hour prior to the awards at 7 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. CDT / 4 p.m. PDT.
