New York - US singer Camila Cabello leads in nominations for the MTV Europe Music Awards, according to a list released on Thursday.
Even before the ceremony to be held 4 November near Bilbao in northern Spain, it has been a banner year for the 21 year old singer born in Cuba.
Her hit song Havana reached the top of the US charts in late January in the US, as did her album Camila that same week.
The audio version of the song, without video, has been heard more than 1.3 billion times on YouTube.
