Lady Gaga has received 13 nominations for this year's MTV Video Music Awards, the most nominations for any artist in a single year.

People magazine reports that Lady Gaga said of her accomplishment: "I'm so honoured for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history. Ironically, I'm even more proud it's an unlucky number: 13."

Among her nominations are: Best Pop Video, Best Dance Music Video, Best Female Video and Best Choreography (all for 'Bad Romance') and Best Collaboration ('Telephone' with Beyoncé).

The awards take place on 12 September.
