Look out for the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) coming out on May 1, 2019 at 8:00 pm.

On April 4th Billboard recently announced their nominees for the this year’s awards. From artists like Panic At The Disco and Imagine Dragons to Cardi B, Drake and BTS. They are all competing for their own purposes and are going straight for the win. Here I will present a few awards and their nominations.

Top Social Artist Award

Nominees:

BTS

EXO

GOT7

Ariana Grande

Louis Tomlinson

The Social Artist Award is one of the two fan-voted categories in the BBMAs. The winner of this award the past two years has been BTS. It also seems as if more K-pop groups were nominated as well, including EXO and GOT7.  Ariana Grande and Louis Tomlinson seem to be stepping up their games with social media and it seems to be reflected in their overall number of nominations. Who will win? I do have some faith in BTS’s fans, ARMY, considering how well they have been doing at the BBMAs for the past two years.

Top Hot 100 Award

Nominees:

Cardi B

Drake

Ariana Grande

Juice Wrld

Post Malone

Congratulations to every single one of these artists. Ariana Grande is on fire, as she has nine nominations this year alone.

Top Duo/Group Award

Nominees:

BTS

Dan + Shay

Imagine Dragons

Maroon 5

Panic! At the Disco

To be honest I love almost all of these groups. Their music is amazing and I honestly don’t know who is going to win. I am a big fan of BTS, so I am most definitely going to be pulling for them. Imagine Dragons has made amazing songs this year and I hear them so much I can recognize them just by the tunes. Just this year I learned about Panic! At The Disco. I really love their music and I am very happy for them to get this far. I’m rooting for BTS.
