The Billboard Music Awards for 2021 are swiftly approaching. Notably, the awards show event is going to take place on Sunday, i.e., 23 May 2021, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The Music Awards will air live at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC. This year, Nick Jonas, 28, will be serving as the Host of the year. However, in the past three years, ‘The Voice Coach’, Clarkson, 39, previously served in the role.
Significantly, the ceremony will be based on chart data from March 21, 2020, through April 3, 2021, with winners based on “key fan interactions with music.” This will basically include the song sales, streaming, and social engagement. Meanwhile, the top social artist and top collaboration categories are fan-voted. The two main musicians, Jonas and Clarkson, have been given the responsibility of hosting the BBMAs solo over the years, alongside Phil Collins, LL Cool J, and Ludacris, the Billboard Awards mentioned. Thus, this is the first time that Jonas will host the famed awards show event.
This year all the performances for BBMAs are for sure going to be adorable as many of the artists are set to hit the stage. The performances will involve the BTS, The Weeknd, Pink, Jonas Brothers, and Twenty One Pilots. Bad Bunny, Karol G, Alicia Keys, DJ Khaled with H.E.R. and Migos, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis with Sounds of Blackness, AJR and Glass Animals will also perform. In addition, Duran Duran will be all set to fix their BBMAs debut. Thus, the band will be performing a brand new song from a remote location in London.
Billboard’s Artist of the Decade award is based upon the “activity on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and the Billboard 200 albums tally, as well as social media data and touring revenue from Billboard Boxscore, from Dec. 5, 2009, through Sept. 28, 2019,” per a press release from Billboard.
