The LP enjoyed huge commercial success, entering the US Billboard, UK Album and UK R&B Album chart at number one, helping to establish the singer as a successful solo artist in his own right.

Taking to his own Twitter account shortly after the nominees were announced, he wrote: ‘Thanks @AMAs! Nice to be nominated.’  

Meanwhile Zayn's ex-girlfriend, Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, has seemingly used the first single from the band's new album to spill the beans on their relationship - and she hasn't held back.

According to The Sun, the blonde beauty, 23, is heard singing a host of harsh lyrics in the new track, entitled Shout Out To My Ex - perhaps hinting at her former fiancé and their poor sex life. 

The four girls draw on their past relationship experiences as they belt out the new punchy tune - with Perrie singing some potentially revealing lyrics on the track, according to the report. 

One brutal line is speculated to be criticizing the former One Direction member's skills in the bedroom, and showing sympathy for his new model flame Gigi.

The South Shields star allegedly taunts: 'I hope she gettin' better sex, Hope she ain't fakin' it like I did, babe.'

Nominations are based on a metric that includes sales, airplay and social activity tracked by Billboard magazine and its partners. Winners are determined by fan votes on the show's website or through Facebook and Twitter.

Last year, One Direction won artist of the year honors, Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" was crowned song of the year and Sam Hunt was named best new artist.

The awards show will air live Nov. 20 from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on ABC.
