Justin Bieber, Adele, and Ed Sheeran are to compete for Song of the Year at the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The Sorry hitmaker appears twice in the Song of the Year category - for Peaches, his collaboration with Daniel Caesar and Giveon, and Stay, his duet with The Kid LAROI.

He faces tough competition for the prize, as his competitors include Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits, Adele's Easy On Me, Olivia Rodrigo's Drivers License, and Positions by Ariana Grande. The remaining nominees include Montero (Call Me by Your Name) by Lil Nas X, Kiss Me More by Doja Cat and SZA, Leave the Door Open by Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak's Silk Sonic, and Levitating by Dua Lipa.

Bieber's two Song of the Year entries both appear in the Best Collaboration category alongside Kiss Me More, Best Friend by Saweetie and Doja Cat, and If I Didn't Love You by Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood. They're also both up for Best Music Video.

Bieber is also nominated for Male Artist of the Year alongside Sheeran, Lil Nas X, The Weeknd, and Drake, while the female equivalent is a competition between Grande, Rodrigo, Lipa, Doja Cat, and Taylor Swift.
