The 2019 Billboard Music Awards are set to air on NBC live from Las Vegas on Wednesday (May 1) at 8pm ET, and the full list categories for the awards has just been revealed. Hip hop dominates once again as it has been for the past couple years now — the BBMAs reflect heavily on the Billboard charts themselves, so this comes as no surprise. Cardi B received the most nominations with a staggering 21, with Drake and Post Malone coming in behind with 17 each.
Dance music artists do show up in a number other categories, however, such as Marshmello & Bastille’s “Happier” in in Top Collab or Zedd, Maren Morris, and Grey’s “The Middle” in Top Radio Song.
Categories like Top Dance/Electronic Artist, Album, and Song more closely hone in on the artists in their respective categories, highlighting Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, ODESZA, and more.
Check out the full list awards below. Use CMND+F/CTRL+F “electronic” to quickly navigate to those categories, or peruse it all at your leisure.
