The Billboard Music Awards for 2017 are finally here! The Billboard Music Award is an honor given by Billboard, a publication and music popularity chart covering the music business. The show had been annually held since 1990 until it went dormant in 2006. The Billboard Music Awards returned in 2011 and since then has been held annually in May. The Billboard Music Awards 2017 is live even as we write this.
Complete list of Billboard Music Awards 2017 Winners
Awards such as the Grammy Award determine nominations as a result of the highest votes received by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. However, unlike these awards, Billboard Music Awards finalists are based on the album and the digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay, touring and social engagement. Billboard and its data partners track these metrics year-round. The 2017 awards are based on the reporting period of March 18, 2016, through March 16, 2017.
Billboard Music Awards are given for the top album/artist/single in different genres. There are also two fan-voted categories. In 2011, many of the awards were renamed to “Top ….”. The general categories are Top Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album, Top Hot 100 Song and Top New Artist. Other categories include Top Female Artist, Top Touring Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Country Album, Top Latin Song and more!
