Post Malone leads Billboard Music Awards.
Malone is nominated 16 times over 15 categories, including Top Artist, Top Male Artist, and Top Streaming Songs Artist. He also received multiple nominations for his album Hollywood’s Bleeding and his hits “Wow.” and “Sunflower.”
Lil Nas X is the next most-nominated artist, with 13 nods, followed by Billie Eilish and Khalid, each with 12 nods.
The nominations are based on the Billboard chart period running from March 23, 2019 through March 14, 2020. That’s because the awards were originally scheduled to take place on April 29th, but were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kelly Clarkson will return as host for the show, which will air live from The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on October 14th on NBC.
