It will be co-hosted by last year’s host Ludacris and Powerless star Vanessa Hudgens. Here we have come up with all the info you ought to have about this extravaganza….
What is BBMA?
The Billboard Music Award is an honor given by Billboard, a publication and music popularity chart covering the music business. The BBMAs show had been held annually since 1990 in December until it went dormant in 2006. The awards returned in 2011 and are held annually in May.
Unlike other awards, here finalists are based on album and digital songs sales, streaming, radio airplay, touring and social engagement. These measurements are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Music and Next Big Sound. The 2017 awards were based on the reporting period of March 18, 2016, through March 16, 2017. Awards are given for the top album/artist/single in different genres. As of 2017, there are two fan-voted categories.
