Billboard just released the finalists for their annual Music Awards. Check em out right here.

“Billboard Music Awards finalists are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital songs sales, radio airplay, streaming, touring and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify and other popular online destinations for music. These measurements are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Music and Next Big Sound. The awards are based on the reporting period of tracking dates March 23, 2015 through March 17, 2016 and Billboard chart dates April 11, 2015 through April 2, 2016. Since 1940, the Billboard charts have been the go-to guide for ranking the popularity of songs and albums, and are the ultimate measure of a musician’s success.” – a press release from Billboard stated.

To be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 22 and hosted by Ludacris and Ciara, the Billboard Music Awards have been one of the highlight award ceremonies in the country, showcasing the best talent the music industry has to offer.
