Last year's ceremony saw Post Malone bring home nine awards, including Top Hot 100 Artist and Top Male Artist, making him the biggest winner of the night. Billie Eilish also won Top Female Artist and Top New Artist, while BTS clinched the fan-voted Top Social Artist award for the fourth year in a row.
Here's how to watch the 2021 Billboard Music Awards
According to Billboard, nominees and winners are based on "key fan interactions with music, including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay, touring and social engagement, tracked by Billboard and its data partners, including MRC Data."
The 2021 Billboard Music Awards will air live from the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on 23 May at 8 AM SGT/PHT (8 PM EST, 5 PM PST) on NBC. While musical performers have yet to be announced, the ceremony will be hosted by singer Nick Jonas, replacing three-time emcee Kelly Clarkson.
