Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry, Pharrell lead American Music Awards nominees

The American Music Awards — one of the biggest fan-voted music awards shows — has revealed its 2014 ballot.

Iggy Azalea, John Legend, Katy Perry and Pharrell Williams lead the nominations, with the Aussie rapper picking six nods and the latter three sweeping up five.

The Artist of the Year category — predictably — is the most cut-throat as it expands from five to 10 competing artists that include best-sellers like Azalea, Beyonce, Eminem and One Direction.

Dick Clark Productions, who will stage the three-hour show on Nov. 23 show on ABC, announced the first of the performers, too: Charli XCX is slated to play the show for the very first time.

The nominees are determined by a number of factors, culled from data via Billboard, Nielsen SoundScan and Next Big Sound, like number of sales, radio plays, streams and socials. Votes are tallied from the AMAs site and through Twitter; read more on how to cast your ballot here.
