Singer Rihanna led the nominations for the MTV Europe Music Awards with six, ahead of Taylor Swift on five and pop stars Justin Bieber and Katy Perry on four each. The music channel said Rihanna had been shortlisted for best song (‘We Found Love’), best female, best pop, best video (‘We Found Love’), biggest fans and in the new category, best look.
The awards are voted by MTV fans online and are one of the biggest pop events outside the United States, and, despite being based in Europe, are generally dominated by American artists. This year the awards will be held in Frankfurt’s Festhalle on Nov. 11.
