Kendrick Lamar leads the nominations for the 2025 American Music Awards

The renowned rapper Kendrick Lamar is positioned as the most nominated artist in the 2025 edition of the American Music Awards (AMA), with a total of 10 nominations that cover the most prestigious categories of the event. These include Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for his acclaimed work GNX, Song of the Year and Collaboration of the Year, consolidating his influence on the current music scene.

Domination in hip-hop categories and close competition

In addition to the general distinctions, Lamar also appears in three specific hip-hop sections: Favorite Male Artist, Favorite Album and Favorite Song, thanks to hits such as “Like That”, “Not Like Us” and “Luther”. His versatility and cultural impact make him a strong candidate for multiple awards.

In second place is Post Malone, with eight nominations, closely followed by Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey, each with seven. The diversity of genres represented—from alt-pop to country—reflects the awards’ evolution to encompass a broader spectrum of talent.

Taylor Swift and other notable nominees

Although Taylor Swift, the most awarded artist in the history of the AMAs (with 40 awards), received six nominations this edition, her presence remains significant. Share this number with figures like Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter and SZA, demonstrating the intense competition this year.

The ceremony, which will be broadcast live, will feature the multifaceted Jennifer Lopez as host and guest artist. Their participation promises to unite the elegance of the show with memorable performances, adding additional appeal to the global audience.

Historical context and trend analysis

The AMAs, founded in 1973, have been a key thermometer of the music industry. The recurring inclusion of artists like Lamar and Swift underscores their continued relevance, while the emergence of new names—like Chappell Roan—signals the opening of the contest to emerging voices. According to data from Variety, 60% of the nominees in main categories repeat their presence compared to the previous year, which suggests a consolidation of careers rather than disruptive changes.

This balance between the established and the innovative could be interpreted as a response to the demands of the public, who values both artistic consistency and freshness. Voting, carried out by fans and a specialized committee, reinforces this democratic but technical approach.

Who will win the highest recognition? The answer will come next month, but until then, the debate is open. Share your predictions and discover more about the nominated artists on our social networks.

Rafael Amaya closes the cycle with the tenth season of The Lord of the Skies

Rafael Amaya says goodbye to Aurelio Casillas and announces a series with Emma Coronel.

Rafael Amaya says goodbye to Aurelio Casillas with the tenth and final season of The Lord of the Skies. The actor led a meeting with part of the cast to celebrate the closing of a cycle that began in 2013 and that made him one of the most recognized faces on Spanish television.

“This last season is a tribute to the fans. It’s been like a school since season one; I feel like I’m graduating,” said Amaya.

The goodbye of Rutila Casillas

Carmen Aub is also preparing to leave Rutila Casillas, Aurelio’s daughter, after 13 years. In this season, the character arrives with nothing to lose.

“She already lost her son, her mother, her grandmother, her father. Now she takes on his last name, she is a woman without fear,” Aub explained.

New faces and the legacy of the series

Sandra Echeverría joins as prosecutor María José Huertas, Aurelio’s nemesis. The actress highlighted that her character is a strong and independent woman.

“I don’t like to make submissive characters; I want to give examples of women who can set limits,” she declared.

Isabella Castillo, who plays Diana Ahumada, stressed that the series showed that Latin Americans can create long-term stories with quality.

“We were precursors of the narcoseries genre. We changed Hispanic television,” he said.

Amaya’s new project

Amaya is already working on his first series as a producer, in collaboration with Emma Coronel, wife of Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán. The idea arose from the friendship between Maritza Ramos, the actor’s wife, and Coronel.

“We are going to use their experiences as a basis for fiction,” said Ramos, who will be co-executive producer.

The tenth season premieres on July 7 on Telemundo.
