The “2020 Billboard Music Awards” has set a new date for Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. ET live on NBC. Additional details regarding production of the show will be announced at a later date.
The “2020 Billboard Music Awards,” originally scheduled to air live on NBC from Las Vegas on April 29, was postponed due to the pandemic.
As previously announced, Kelly Clarkson will return to host the event. This will mark Clarkson’s third time hosting the hugely popular award show after receiving unanimous acclaim as host in 2018 and 2019.
“Billboard Music Awards” 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 Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Since 1940, the Billboard charts have been a go-to guide for ranking the popularity of artists, songs and albums, and are a measure of success in music.
