I don't get ZBB being up for the new artist award AND group award...they've been around too long to be "new". That spot could easily have been filled by LEE BRICE! Who also should have gotten a nod for Song of the Year for "Love Like Crazy"...over 53 weeks on the charts - how could it not be nominated?

Erik, The album has sold 100,000 copies in 5 weeks, it's not in the nominations for album, I'm pretty sure. His single came out in January, which is PLENTY of time for him to be nominated. Is it surprising he's there, sure but not completely.

How did Jerrod Niemann get a nomination for Best New Artist? He released his album last month and it hasn’t sold that much!
