The nominees for the 2014 Billboard Music Awards were announced today with Imagine Dragons and Lorde leading with a whopping 12 nominations.

The Prince of Pop, Justin Timberlake, was right behind them with 11 noms, including Top Artist and Top Billboard 200 Album for his chart-topping The 20/20 Experience album. With all of this, it’s no surprise he’s embarking on a world tour for those albums!

Beyonce came back with a vengeance last year with her earth-shattering, history-making, surprise self-titled album, garnering the Queen Bey with seven nominations that will have her competing with Justin, one of the writers on her album, in six categories.

Other nominees include Katy Perry, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Miley Cyrus, and Rihanna. The 2014 Billboard Music Awards will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 18th, on ABC at 8:00 PM ET.
