Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic
Morgan Wallen is the leading nominee at the 58th annual CMA Awards, with seven nominations. He got some help — most notably in the form of his duet performance on Post Malone's hit "I Had Some Help," which was nominated in four categories.
Wallens' seven nominations for the Country Music Association's annual kudos are followed by five each for Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton. Hot on the heels of that milestone, Post Malone's four nominations tied him with reigning Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson.
