The Country Music Association revealed nominees for the 58th Annual CMA Awards. Morgan Wallen leads the way with seven total nods, followed by Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton with five nominations each. Post Malone and Lainey Wilson both received four nominations, while Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Megan Moroney, and Kacey Musgraves each received three noms.

Noticeably absent from the list of nominees is Beyoncé, whose countrified, crossover hit album, Cowboy Carter, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and made her the first Black woman to ever top the Hot Country Albums chart. The album’s first single, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and debuted atop the Hot Country Songs chart.

Nominees for CMA Entertainer of the Year are Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson, and Jelly Roll. While the CMA Album of the Year nominees are Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves, Fathers & Sons by Luke Combs, Higher by Chris Stapleton, Leather by Cody Johnson, and Whitsitt Chapel by Jelly Roll. The 58th Annual CMA Awards will be broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 20. (Variety)
