Despite rumours of lagging ticket sales which suggested her and her husband's titles as music's undisputed power couple might be coming to an end, Beyonce will know that she still has the support of one of the music industry's biggest powerhouse after being nominated for EIGHT MTV Video Music Awards.

Her 'Drunk In Love' duet with Jay Z is up for Video of the Year, despite your writer finding the song to be offensively bad. There's no accounting for taste though. There it is up at the top of the page though, so feel free to make your own mind up.

Elsewhere Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams, John Legend, Sam Smith and Eminem will fight it out in the Best Male category.

Jay Z, Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Jason Derulo, Pitbull, Avicii were among the folk nominated for numerous awards and fans can vote for your favourites over at vma.mtv.com
