Here Are The 3 Vmas Best New Artist Finalists And The 3 Who Didnt Make The Cut

## Here Are the 3 VMAs Best New Artist Finalists — and the 3 Who Didn’t Make the Cut The MTV Video Music Awards are one of the most prestigious awards in the music industry, and the Best New Artist category is always one of the most hotly contested. This year, there are six artists in the running for the award: Gayle, Latto, Måneskin, Seventeen, Muni Long, and Dove Cameron. The three finalists for the award are: * **Gayle:** The 18-year-old singer-songwriter is best known for her hit song "abcdefu," which went viral on TikTok and peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. * **Latto:** The 23-year-old rapper is best known for her hit songs "Big Energy" and "Souvenir," which both peaked in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. * **Måneskin:** The Italian rock band is best known for their victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 and their hit song "Beggin'," which peaked at number one on the Billboard Global 200 chart. **The three artists who did not make the cut for the Best New Artist award are:** * **Seventeen:** Although this South Korean boy band is popular internationally, only one of their songs, "Rock with You," has charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Their exclusion from the list is likely due to their lack of mainstream success in the United States. * **Muni Long:** The 32-year-old singer-songwriter is best known for her hit songs "Hrs and Hrs" and "Baby Boo," which both peaked in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Her exclusion from the list is likely due to the fact that she is not considered to be a "new" artist, having been in the music industry for over a decade. * **Dove Cameron:** The 26-year-old singer-songwriter is best known for her hit songs "Boyfriend" and "LazyBaby," which both peaked in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Her exclusion from the list is likely due to the fact that she is not considered to be a "new" artist, having been in the music industry for over a decade. The winner of the Best New Artist award will be announced at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28, 2023.
