For Moroney, "Am I Okay?" earned her spots in Single, Album, Song, and Music Video categories. She's also up for Female Vocalist and got a Musical Event nod for her duet with Kenny Chesney.
Wilson's chance at Entertainer of the Year headlines her impressive nominations. Her hit "4x4xU" is up for Single and Song awards, while her album "Whirlwind" is in the mix for its category.
The show's top prize - Entertainer of the Year - puts Combs, Johnson, Stapleton, Wallen, and Wilson head-to-head. Wallen, who won last year, is back to try for another win.
Top's impressive five nominations show he's made it big. His song "I Never Lie" is up for Single and Song awards, along with his album "Cold Beer & Country Music." He's also in the running for Male Vocalist and New Artist.
