iHeartRadio released its nominee list on Thursday, January 18, 2024, with Taylor Swift leading the nominations with nine nods. Jelly Roll, 21 Savage and SZA are close behind with eight nods.
The Mavin Records star was nominated in the Song of the Year, Best African Music Act, Best New Artiste (Pop), Best Collaboration, and Pop Song of the Year categories for his record-breaking single, ‘Calm Down’ featuring Selena Gomez.

In 2023, Rema was nominated for ‘Best Music Video (Socially Voted Category)’ for the visuals to Selena Gomez, ‘Calm Down.’ He was also nominated in the African Artist of the Year category alongside Wizkid, Burna Boy, Ckay, Fireboy DML, and Tems.
