It's a brand-new year, which means we're already getting a slew of new music award nominations to get 2018 started with a bang. Today, the nominees for the iHeartRadio Music Awards were announced and, as you might expect, many top stars from the world of hip-hop and R&B were recognized for the outstanding work they did over the past year.

K. Dot is also in the Best Song conversation for "Humble." DJ Khaled and Migos also scored multiple nominations each, while the likes of Future, 21 Savage, Post Malone, Lil Uzi Vert and more scored some love from the iHeartRadio nomination committee
