CMA Nomination Snubs

The nominees were announced for the 2024 CMA Awards and Morgan Wallen leads the way with 7 nominations, Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton both have 5 each, and Post Malone and Lainey Wilson are tied with 4 each.

Here are the biggest snubs:

1. Beyoncé. . . “Cowboy Carter” spent 4 weeks on top of the Top Country Albums chart . . . and “Texas Hold ‘Em” was #1 for 10 weeks on the Hot Country songs chart. She qualified for multiple categories and was shut out of everything.

2. Scotty McCreery . . . He has had a #1 song on the Country Airplay chart every year since 2018, and he has never received a single CMA Award nomination.

3. Carrie Underwood . . . She had received a nomination for Entertainer of the Year five years in a row. The nominees in the category were all the same as last year.

Except Jelly Roll replaced Carrie.

4. Midland . . . They had been nominated for Group of the Year for six consecutive years. But this year, they were replaced by the Red Clay Strays.

5. Zach Bryan . . . He got shut out of all the major categories despite being one of the biggest names in Country music. He does have one nom for Musical Event of the Year with Kacey Musgraves.

6. Miranda Lambert . . . She had been nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year for a whopping 17 straight years. She’s won the award seven times in the past.

Here are the biggest surprises:

1. Post Malone . . . Most people thought he would get some love, but to be nominated in every category he was eligible for was a bit of a surprise. All four of his nominations are from “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen.

2. Morgan Wallen . . . Morgan had three nominations last year but didn’t win anything. This year he leads with seven. People were wondering if the chair-throwing debacle was going to hurt his chances, but apparently, it did not.

The 2024 CMA Awards take place on November 20th at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
