The nominees for the MTV European Music Awards (yes, these are a thing) were released Tuesday, and to no one’s surprise, they are dominated by globe-spanning pop juggernauts Beyoncé and Justin Bieber, each with five nominations; Adele is close behind with four. All the other usual suspects make appearances, too: Kanye West, Coldplay, Sia, Rihanna, Lady Gaga… in fact, between the overwhelming show from the Americans, Canadians, and a smattering of lucky Brits, it turns out the European awards show list is short on other continental European artists.
