Drake just beat a Michael Jackson record in this year's AMA nominations
Drake, the rapper known for visiting universities in the dead of night and spraining his ankle, just reached a milestone in his career with a record number of American Music Award nominations.
The full list of those up for an AMA award were released this morning, revealing Drake is competing for the most—13 different awards, followed by Rihanna with seven.

Both Drake and Rihanna are up for Artist of the Year, along with The Weeknd and Beyoncé, The Chainsmokers and more. The two are also up for awards together, including Collaboration of the Year and Video of the Year for the song "Work."
Fans will have an opportunity to narrow the competition by voting for their favorite artists for various awards. Once Nov. 14, hits and those votes have been tallied, the nominees for Artist of the Year will dwindle from 10 to five—and votes will be tallied for the rest of the categories.
The night's winners will be announced live at the show, in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 20.
