WATCH: 2016 MTV Video Music Awards Highlights

Nominations for the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards were announced Tuesday, with rapper Kendrick Lamar earning the most of any artist for his video "Humble."

Right behind Lamar's eight nominations were Katy Perry and the Weeknd, who were tied with five nominations each.

Videos released between June 25, 2016, and June 23, 2017 are eligible for this year's VMAs, according to the Associated Press.

In keeping with the changes that MTV instituted for the MTV Movie & TV Awards, the gendered categories of Best Female Video and Best Male Video were replaced by a more general award, Artist of the Year. One new award was also added: "Best Fight Against the System."

The MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Sunday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
