Lil' Bieber is up for four awards while B.o.B, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Usher are sitting pretty with three nominations.
Nominees are picked from a list of the most popular artists, worked out from a far-too-complex equation of sales, airplay and oddly, social-media activity…whatever that means!
The 38th Annual AMAs will be held in LA on Sunday November 21.
