In a surprise snub, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s mega-hit “Despacito” — which includes a remix with Justin Bieber — was not nominated, nor was Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You.” Both songs topped Billboard’s Hot 100 this year.

Sheeran, however, will compete for artist of the year with Lamar, Mars, Ariana Grande, Lorde and the Weeknd. This year MTV eliminated the gender-split categories for best male video and best female video and opted instead for the artist of the year award.
