Music fans will be happy to hear that Channel O will be
broadcasting the 2012 Billboard Music Awards live on Monday 21 May at 02:00 and
a repeat on Vuzu at 20:30. Today it was announced that Chris Brown has been
added to the list of superstars set to perform at the 2012 Billboard Music
Awards in Las Vegas. The R&B star is also a finalist in four Billboard
Music Awards categories, including Top Male Artist. Hosted by Julie Bowen and
Ty Burrell - who play the uptight mom and goofball dad on the hit comedy Modern
Family - the duo will have plenty of star power to wrangle during the
much-anticipated broadcast, with Usher, Justin Bieber, CeeLo Green, LMFAO,
Nelly Furtado, Kelly Clarkson, Linkin’ Park, Carrie Underwood, LMFAO and The
Wanted already announced as performers. Adele, LMFAO, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and
Lil Wayne lead the finalists for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. Adele takes
the lead as a finalist in 18 award categories, while LMFAO is a finalist in 17
categories. Rihanna lands in 13 categories this year, after leading the pack
with 18 category appearances in 2011. Lady Gaga and Lil Wayne each snagged a
spot in 10 categories. The awards will reflect Billboard's chart rankings based
on key fan interactions with music, including album sales and downloads, track
downloads, radio airplay and touring as well as streaming and social
interactions on Facebook, Twitter, Vevo, Youtube, Spotify and other popular
online destinations for music. These measurements are tracked year-round by
Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big
Sound. The awards will be based on the reporting period 1 March 2011 through to
29 February 2012. Top artists will be recognised in a variety of genres,
including R&B, Rap, Pop, Country, Rock, Latin and Alternative. The awards
show will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
