It is that time of the year again for the annual Billboard Music Awards, which is going to be hosted by Kelly Clarkson. Justin Bieber, Drake, Cardi B. and many more have been nominated to claim awards this year.
This year, Mariah Carey has been set to win an Icon award during the ceremony. She is one of the only artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart every year for a whole decade. She is going to perform some of her biggest hits alongside other Icon award winners such as Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Cher and many more.
Oddly enough Cardi B. is actually going to be competing against herself in three different categories due to the many collaborations she did on songs this year. The categories are top hot 100 song, top selling song and top collaboration. It would be a stroke of bad luck if she walked away empty handed this year.
Also many artist are winning awards for genres they aren’t known for. Drake is being nominated for Latin Trap with his feature on MIA. Justin Bieber is being nominated for top R&B song for his feature on No Brainer.
It is certainly a year of first for the Billboard Music Awards which will be live Wednesday, May 1, at 8 p.m. EST/PST.
