Luke Combs, Megan Moroney and Morgan Wallen Lead 2024 ACM Awards Nominations

Country music's party of the year is almost here!

On Tuesday, ACM and Dick Clark Productions announced nominations for the awards ceremony, now it's 59th year, which will air live on Thursday, May 16 from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

This year's nominations list is led by none other than Luke Combs with eight total. The "Fast Car" singer's nominations include entertainer of the year, make artist of the year, album of the year, song of the year, single of the year and music event of the year alongside Riley Green for "Different 'Round Here."

Trailing behind Combs is Megan Moroney with six nominations total — and the most for a female artist at the award show. Her nominations include female artist of the year, new female artist of the year, song of the year, visual media of the year and music event of the year alongside Old Dominion for "Can't Break Up Now."

Morgan Wallen also received six nominations and ties Combs for receiving nods in the most categories. His nominations include album of the year, single of the year and male artist of the year, which he won last year.

Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson received five nominations each and are followed by Jelly Roll and Jordan Davis with four nominations.

Tracy Chapman received her first nomination for writing "Fast Car," which she originally released in 1988 and Combs re-released in 2023. Since Combs released his cover, the song reached No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart and No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart.

More first-time nominees include Kassi Ashton, Tyler Childers, Ashley Cooke, Hannah Ellis, Flatland Cavalry, Jelly Roll, Kameron Marlowe, Kylie Morgan, Neon Union, Restless Road, Conner Smith and Tigirlily Gold.
