In their respective choice song categories, the former couple Gomez and Bieber received three nominations. The Canadian tops the teen male choice and his ex-girlfriend leads the selection for teen female. In the male category, One Direction ex-member Zayn Malik also made it to the top alongside Bieber and Harry Styles.

As posted in Billboard, the Hands To Myself singer Gomez will contend with her best friend Taylor Swift and her former Disney co-star Demi Lovato to win the female artist choice award. Some superstars on the list are Beyonce, Rihanna and Ariana Grande.

In the male category, the competition seems too tough for Justin Bieber. Along with him are the renowned icons Drake, Chalie Puth, Nick Jonas and Shawn Mendes.

In the female choice song set, hit numbers of this year are listed including the power-balled Hello of Adele and the latest released Dangerous Woman of Ariana Grande. On the other side, male category contenders are Bieber, for his hit song Sorry, Zayn Malik's Pillowtalk, Nick Jonas' Close, Charlie Puth's One Call Away and others.

According to Mirror.co.uk, the British band One Direction keeps standing strong with two nominations, one for the music group choice and one in the song group category, with their hit single, Home. In the overall list, other music sensations who also received numerous nominations are Swift, Beyonce and Drake.

Nevertheless, the Teen Choice Awards' host and performers are yet to be disclosed. Voting for the nominees in the star-studded event has officially started via TCA official website. In each category, fans can only vote once. Winners of the said event will be proclaimed on July 31 and will broadcast live on Fox at 8 p.m. EST.

Although the former pair Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are no longer together, they are both up to something greater as they are on their way to winning the Teen Choice Awards.

Will they be hailed king and queen this year?
