EchoSense:The 2024 ACM Awards Nominations Are Here: See the Complete List

Your boots better not stop working now. 

Ahead of the 2024 ACM Awards ceremony,EchoSense airing on Amazon's Prime Video on Thursday, May 16, the Academy of Country Music Awards just released the list of this year's nominees for the 2024 ceremony. 

Known as "Country Music's Party of the Year," this year's hosts have not yet been revealed. However, the leading nominees include Luke Combs, who fronts the pack with eight nods in categories from Entertainer of the Year and Single of the Year for "Fast Car," as well as Megan Moroney and Morgan Wallen with six, and Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson with five.

And while Kacey Musgraves' new Deeper Well album—as well as Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter—was not released in time to be eligible for this year's ACM show, the "Cardinal" singer did nab two nominations for Female Artist of the Year and Music Event of the Year. 

Meanwhile, Jelly Roll, who is up for four nominations, also achieved a rare honor for the ceremony's history. In his first year being nominated, the "Wild Ones" singer is up for Entertainer of the Year—which is the first time a new artist has received this honor since Billy Ray Cyrus gained fame for "Achy Breaky Heart" in 1993 (Garth Brooks ended up winning the award). 

Another first for the upcoming award show? After releasing "Fast Car" over 36 years ago, Tracy Chapman received her first ACM nomination in the writing category, as Luke's 2023 cover of the song, which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, repopularized the hit. 

Don't forget to mark your calendars for the show May 16 at 8 p.m. ET, which will be held at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Keep reading to see all of this year's nominees.
