The Weekend Leads 2021 Billboard Music Awards Nominations: See The Full List

The 2021 Billboard Music Awards nominations are here, and The Weeknd is dominating! The “Blinding Lights” singer leads the pack with 16 nods, scoring recognition in major categories like Top Male Artist and Top Hot 100 Artist. Trailing just behind are rapper DaBaby with 11 nominations and the late artist Pop Smoke with 10 nominations.

Rap superstar Drake has the potential to break his own record for most BBMA wins (27), as he’s up for seven awards this year. However, Taylor Swift, who’s nominated four times this year, has the potential to tie his record if she wins in every category. The 2021 Billboard Music Awards are coming up on Sunday, May 23 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC.
