52nd Annual Country Music Association Award Nominees

The 52nd Annual Country Music Association Awards (CMAs) air live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday, November 14th and it's shaping up to be a great evening of music. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are back once again as hosts for the 11th consecutive year, and the nominees have recently been announced, which certainly whets our appetite for the event.

There are 12 different categories in which awards will be presented, recognizing the best songs, albums, videos, and personalities in country music. This year, Chris Stapleton heads the list of nominees with five nominations to his name, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, which was won by Garth Brooks last year for the sixth time. Mighty impressive, Garth!

Elsewhere, Chris Stapleton's excellent "Broken Halos" will have to fend off Dan + Shay's "Tequila," Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line's "Meant To Be," Jason Aldean's "Drowns the Whiskey," and Midland's "Drinkin' Problem" for the Single of the Year award.

We've compiled a list of some of our top choices from this year's nominees below. Drop us a note on Facebook and Twitter to let us know which country songs and artists get your vote this year!
