It's one thing to be nominated for an Academy of Country Music Award. It's an entirely different experience to be the most-nominated artist on the list. Chris Young found his name among the 2022 ACM Awards nominees seven times when they were announced on Thursday (Feb. 10).

"I've never been the most nominated at any awards show ever in my career," Young shares in a "thank you" video on Instagram.

Young's seven nominations in 2022 actually tie his previous total for career nominations at the ACMs. Despite those nods, he has yet to secure a trophy. However, the odds are certainly in his favor in 2022; as he says, "Seven is my lucky number."

Young is nominated twice for Album of the Year for Famous Friends, twice for Single of the Year for "Famous Friends" with Kane Brown and twice for Music Event of the Year for "Famous Friends" with Brown. Young is not only an artist on those projects, he's a producer as well.

Young's seventh nomination is for Video of the Year for "Famous Friends," another category he shares with Brown.

In addition to earning multiple ACM Awards nominations, "Famous Friends was country radio's most-played song in 2021.

The 2022 ACM Awards will not be televised on a broadcast network. For the first time ever, the show is set to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime. Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett will join Dolly Parton as hosts of the ACMs.

The 2022 ACM Awards will air on March 7 at 8PM ET from Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium.

Remember: The best way to watch the 2022 ACMs is on TV, with ToC on your phone!

2022 ACM Awards: The Most Nominated Artists

Chris Young is the most-nominated artist at the 2022 ACM Awards, earning seven nominations. Some of country's biggest names also earned multiple nods this year.

2022 ACM Awards Nominations: Snubs and Surprises

This is not the same 'ol list of ACM Awards nominees. One of the biggest categories seems to have completely turned over, while a major winner from 2021 was snubbed in a major way.

Chris Young leads all nominees — who saw that coming? — and Morgan Wallen is back. What some would say is the best album of 2021 was forgotten, and an artist everyone thought could represent the next generation of female stars was shut out.

Needless to say, the 2022 version of the ACM Awards Nominations: Snubs and Surprises list is very, very interesting.
