Armaan won his first MTV EMA in 2020 for his debut English single ‘Control’.
His second win came two years later in 2022 for ‘You’, another English language hit.
Meanwhile, ‘Always’ showcases Armaan’s versatility and ability to seamlessly blend different musical styles, further solidifying his position as a global music sensation.
The nomination comes a few days after he announced he had officially submitted ‘Always’ for Grammy consideration.
‘Always’ has been submitted for ‘Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’, ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Record of the Year’.
With the nomination and Grammy’s submission, Armaan Malik continues to cement his position as a leading voice in both Indian and international music.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift dominates the 2024 MTV EMA nominations with seven.
The event takes place at the Co-op Live Arena on November 10.
Now in its 30th year, this is the first time that the MTV EMA will be staged in Manchester and also marks its return to the UK for the first time since 2017.
Rita Ora is reportedly set to host the 2024 event, having hosted the 2017 awards at London’s Wembley Arena.
The MTV EMA will broadcast at 9 pm on MTV UK, Channel 5 and Pluto TV.
It will be available on demand on Paramount+ from November 12.
