Miranda Lambert earned nine nominations for the 48th Annual CMA Awards, matching the record she already held for the most nominations by a female artist in history. Following far behind with five nominations was Dierks Bentley, with Keith Urban and Eric Church collecting four nominations each.

Lambert’s nine nominations brings her total overall CMA Awards nominations to 34. That puts her fourth on the list behind Reba (49), Dolly Parton (44), and Loretta Lynn (39).

This year’s CMA Awards will be held on November 5, 2014 on ABC with Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood back as co-hosts.

“This is a great slate of nominees with established superstars, industry icons, and breakthrough acts all represented,” said CMA Chief Executive Officer Sarah Trahern. “The 2014 CMA Awards are destined to be the best yet.”
