The award season has begun and we can already see how it’s going to shape up for the Weeknd. The R&B crooner, who’s having a phenomenal year thus far, nabbed five nominations for the 2015 Soul Train Awards. Fellow artists Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson are also received five nods apiece.

Abel Tesfaye’s nominations include Best R&B/Soul Male Artist and Album of the Year for his stellar effort, Beauty Behind the Madness. Meanwhile, Mars and Ronson's funky track “Uptown Funk” is also up for Video and Song of the year, as well as Best Collaboration.

Other nominees include Beyonce, Chris Brown, Jidenna and Tyrese who all grabbed four mentions apiece.

Breakout R&B stars Alessia Cara, Jidenna, DeJ Loaf, Jussie Smollett and Tinashe will vie for the Best New Artist trophy.
