The Billboard Music Award nominations went out earlier this week and there were many big names that received numerous nominations. Wednesday we talked about all of the many awards that The Weeknd is up for, but there are other R&B artists who will be recognized on May 22 when the award show happens. Let’s take a look at the R&B specific awards that will be handed out that night.
The Top R&B Artist award will be between Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, The Weeknd, Rihanna, and Jeremih. What a list of names here with The Weeknd likely the favorite if Vegas had odds on this award.
For Top R&B album we see many of the same names. In fact, Jeremih isn’t a part of this award, but instead Tyrese’s recent album, “Black Rose,” is. Considering the award and the talent that Tyrese has, we’ll give him the slight edge.
The Weeknd owns the Top R&B Song category with three of the five nominations. Can you blame BBMA for giving him three cracks at it though? His songs “Can’t Feel My Face,” “The Hills,” and “Earned It” were monster hits that we heard non-stop this past summer.
