Billboard Music Award
The ''Billboard'' Music Awards are honors given out annually by '' Billboard'', a publication covering the music business and a music popularity chart.

The event was formerly staged in December but since returning in 2011, it has been held in May.

These measurements are tracked year-round by ''Billboard'' and its data partners, including MRC Data and Next Big Sound. The 2018 awards were based on the reporting period of April 8, 2017 through March 31, 2018. Awards are given for the top album, artist and single in a number of different m ...
