Guys, we have the list of the nominees for the Billboard Music Awards 2022. Read the article to find out if your favorite celeb is present on the list or not.
When will the Billboard Music Awards 2022 take place?
This year, the Billboard Music Awards will return to their usual home Las Vegas. The program will be aired live on both coasts on Sunday, May 15 and it will be broadcasted on NBC at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
The awards will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the 18th time. In the past, the Billboard Awards have been organized in the greater Los Angeles area seven times and once in New York City.
More details about the nominees for Billboard Music Awards 2022
The finalists for the Billboard Music Awards 2022 were announced just recently over a month before the annual award show. The award ceremony will be taking place in Las Vegas after two years. More details like the hosts and performers will be revealed soon in the upcoming weeks.
The Weeknd is leading the list of nominees from the front, he has been nominated in a total of 17 categories. He took about 10 trophies home last year. We are not surprised as this powerhouse of talent deserves all the trophies in the world.
Let’s give you an interesting fact, All Too Well singer Taylor Swift is one of the most celebrated artists of all time. If this year, Taylor can bag at least 5 trophies out of the 7 that she has been nominated for then she will surpass Champagne Papi aka Drake for the most wins ever.
