Cody Johnson and Morgan Wallen were the top-voted names from the first round of Summer Hot List Awards voting, but they haven't won yet. Four of the seven categories have been trimmed down to five finalists, per the rules.

Now, the competition starts fresh, meaning each finalist in these categories has the chance to take an early lead and never look back. Along with Carrie Underwood, the two country men were the most-voted-for early on, and each earned the right to move on in the categories they are nominated in.

The big award is Hot Artist of 2022, where Johnson, Underwood and Wallen are joined in competition by Miranda Lambert and Walker Hayes.
