Shortly after the announcement that Drake snagged a record 13 American Music Awards nominations, he follows that up with 12 nods for the Soul Train Awards, the most of any artist.
The categories the Toronto megastar is nominated for include Song of the Year, Album of the Year and Music Video of the Year. His most recent LP, VIEWS, has sat at or near the top of the Billboard 200 chart for a double-digit number of weeks and passed 1 billion streams last month. It has been certified triple platinum since its April release.
Beyonce follows Drizzy with eight Soul Train nods. Her LEMONADE visual album was also nominated for four Emmy Awards.
Erykah Badu is set to return as the host of the Soul Train Awards, which are set to air November 27 on BET.
