Thomas Rhett, Luke Bryan and Cole Swindell are bringing the twang to the iHeartRadio Music Awards this year. The trio lead the pack of country nominees with a three-way tie in nominations.

Nominees were announced Wednesday morning, and country artists made a strong showing in the all-genre categories, in addition to the genre-specific awards.

Luke Bryan scored two nominations in Country Artist of the Year and the all-genre Male Artist of the Year categories. Thomas Rhett received nods for Country Song of the Year and Country Artist of the Year.
