It’s almost time for the 2019 Billboard Music Awards<\/strong>! <\/p>\n

Kelly Clarkson<\/a><\/strong>, who is hosting the award show<\/a> for the second year in a row<\/a>, announced a few of this year’s nominees along with Dan + Shay<\/strong> during Thursday’s episode of Today<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So, how are the nominees selected? Well, there are a lot of factors. According to Billboard<\/em>, the finalists are determined<\/a> based on key interactions with fans, album and digital song sales, radio airplay, streaming, touring and social engagement. Of course, performance on the Billboard Charts plays a role, too. This year, the awards are based on a chart period from Mar. 23, 2018 to Mar. 7, 2019.<\/p>\n

While fans will have to wait until the big night to find out who takes home a trophy, they won’t be kept in suspense for too long. <\/p>\n

The 2019 Billboard Music Awards will be broadcast from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Wednesday May 1 starting at 8:00 p.m. ET\/PT.<\/p>\n
