Beliebers, get ready: Justin Bieber will be coming to a TV screen near you very soon. The teenage superstar was just one of the many acts added to the star-studded American Music Awards lineup.

Bieber, along with Usher, ska rockers No Doubt and Ke$ha will join previously announced acts Pink, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Christina Aguilera, Carrie Underwood, Pitbull and Linkin Park at the 40th annual AMAs on Sunday, Nov. 18.

But that's not all. More artists are expected to join the lineup in the coming weeks.

Bieber is only up for one AMA, while Rihanna and Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat" collaborator Minaj lead the nominees for this year’s fan-voted event, earning four nominations apiece.

This year's event also marks the introduction of a new category for Electronic Dance Music (EDM). Nominees for this category include hitmakers David Guetta, Calvin Harris and Skrillex.

The 40th annual American Music Awards air on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 8PM ET on ABC.
