The Chainsmokers and Calvin Harris were pretty far behind. Both of them got two nominations, but overall that’s not too shabby, considering the dance music category at the VMAs is quite small. Calvin Harris is nominated for Best Dance Video, where he’ll be competing against Afrojack, Major Lazer, Zedd and Kygo. He was also nominated for Best Collaboration for his track with Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean called “Feels.”
