He is also nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year (he has been nominated in this category every year since 2012). He received his first CMA Awards nomination in 2010 for New Artist of the Year.

Sam Hunt, who is making his way up the country charts with “Break Up in a Small Town,” is nominated in three categories: New Artist of the Year, plus Single and Song of the Year for “Take your Time,” which he co-wrote with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.
