As a music enthusiast who has been following the industry for decades, I must say that this year’s Billboard Music Awards lineup is nothing short of breathtaking! With its focus on data-driven achievements and its commitment to celebrating artists across all genres, it truly reflects the dynamic and diverse nature of today’s music scene.
Towards the end of the year, it’s common for people to reminisce about the past twelve months, particularly about the year 2024. This is also the season where the highly esteemed Billboard Music Awards are held.
The program, established in 1990, focuses on various music genres by showcasing recording artists and recognizing their accomplishments. Winners are chosen based on factors such as album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay, concert tours, and social media engagement, all of which are monitored continuously by Billboard throughout the year.
Instead of relying on audience voting like many other shows do, the Billboard Music Awards places greater emphasis on year-end performance data gathered directly from the Billboard charts.
2024’s eligibility for the show is determined by the timeframe of “Billboard‘s Year-End Charts,” which calculates music consumption from October 28, 2023 to October 19, 2024.
If your preferred album was released on or after October 19th, it won’t qualify for the 2024 awards event, but if it performs exceptionally well in terms of sales and data, it could be a contender for the 2025 showcase the following year.
This year, the Billboard Music Awards are coming back to their original broadcasting network, Fox, which was their home channel from 1990 until 2006.
Apart from airing on Fox, the show can also be viewed across several platforms including Paramount+, which allows for on-demand streaming, and the Fire TV Channels app that grants easy access to viewers using Amazon devices like Fire TV smart TVs, streaming media players, and Fire Tablets, as Billboard elaborates.
The significant update we’re discussing stems from Jay Penske, who serves as both the chair and CEO of PMC, along with being the CEO of Dick Clark Productions – the company responsible for the production of this show.
Penske clarified that by offering several viewing platforms and opportunities, fans will have a greater choice to catch their favorite artists who climbed the music charts with their support.
He went on to explain that by collaborating with Fox, Paramount+, and Fire TV Channels, we can easily connect with music lovers. This is because they can access our content across various platforms – whether it’s through traditional television, streaming on-demand services, or from their mobile devices.
