Why Is Justin Bieber Nominated For An ACM?

Justin Bieber has taken over the music world multiple times and has received or been nominated for every award that an artist can wish for but there is one award he has never won, actually there is one award he has never even been nominated for until now.

The Academy of Country Music announced nominations for its 55th annual awards. All of the typical artist are nominated in one category or another but the shocker is that not only is Justin Bieber a first time nominee, he is actually nominated for multiple awards. The Biebs received four nominations for his collaboration with Dan and Shay on 10,000 hours. Will he win? We will have to wait and find out on Sunday, April 5th when the awards are broadcast live on CBS from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Here is a list of the nominees for the main awards as from cnn.
