The InMusic Awards 2025 Are Here! First introduced in 2020, the InMusic Awards return for their sixth year, once again letting fans vote for their favorite albums, songs, and artists across multiple genres, reflecting the most defining releases of the past year. Leading the pack this year is none other than Tate McRae, who earns 10 nominations, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year.
The Canadian hitmaker enjoyed a standout year with the release of her third album, So Close To What, and the launch of the Miss Possessive Tour. She consistently delivered hits throughout the year, resulting in four entries in the Best Song of the Month category.
Closely behind McRae is Sabrina Carpenter with nine nominations. Following the massive success of Short n’ Sweet, the 26-year-old pop star returned with Man’s Best Friend, further cementing herself as one of pop’s brightest stars. Notably, in 2024, Carpenter secured InMusic’s New Artist of the Year honor.
Bad Bunny (8), Taylor Swift (6), and Lady Gaga (6) follow. Other artists with multiple nominations include The Weeknd, Morgan Wallen, and Tyler, The Creator, who are tied at five each. In K-pop, LISA and JENNIE lead the field, earning four nominations apiece.
