Beyoncé sets personal record with 11 MTV Video Music Awards nominations

The nominations for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards have arrived and Beyoncé proves once more why she totes the title, "Queen Bey."

Beyoncé's "Lemonade" garnered her 11 nominations, her most VMA nominations yet. The 2014 Vanguard recipient previously nabbed the "Best Choreography" award for 2011's "Run the World (Girls)." She also went home with the "Video of the Year" award in 2008 for hit single, "Single Ladies" and "Best Collaboration" for 2015 smash "Drunk In Love" with hubby Jay Z. There is a chance she will take them again, as she is nominated again in those categories.

Adele followed suit with eight of her own. Ariana Grande and Drake trail behind with five and four, respectively.  Other nominees include Calvin Harris, Rihanna and the late David Bowie.

In addition to Beyoncé's “Formation”, we will see Drake's "Hotling Bling," Justin Bieber's "Sorry, Adele's "Hello," and Kanye West's controversial "Famous" battle it out for the Video of the Year honor.
