The Chainsmokers also lead the pack in the the crop of nominees -- observed by some to be strikingly light on female artists.
While Halsey is happy for her American Music Awards nomination, she's taking note of the fact that she's one of the only women who got one.
The largest fan-voted awards show unveiled its 2017 nominee list on Thursday, which was led by Bruno Mars with eight nominations, and followed by a four-way tie for second place, with Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran and The Chainsmokers getting five nods each.
However, what got the attention of many on social media, including singer Halsey -- who was nominated with The Chainsmokers for Collaboration of the Year and Favorite Pop/Rock Song -- is the large gender gap present on the nominees list. Apart from the categories specifically designated for female artists in fact, the overwhelming majority of the categories have no female nominees at all. Additionally, every act nominated for Artist of the Year is a man.
"Really honored to have received an @AMAs nomination but really disappointed to hear near exclusively male names... such a missed opportunity," Halsey remarked on Twitter. "So many incredible female artists have released this year. hoping the coming award shows give them the credit that is due to them."
The American Music Awards are set to air on Nov. 19 on ABC. Read below for the full list of nominees.
