    (CNN) — The Country Music Association announced the nominees for the 58th Annual CMA Awards on Monday, with one artist leading the nominees and one notable absence.

    Morgan Wallen garnered the most nods with seven, followed by Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton with five nominations, and Post Malone and Lainey Wilson with four each.

    Louis Bell, Luke Combs, Charlie Handsome, Hoskins, Jelly Roll, Megan Moroney and Kacey Musgraves each secured three nominations.
