The Billboard Awards have been presented annually since 1990 by the trade magazine of the same name and are largely based on chart positions in the USA. The awards were announced online.
The German Kim Petras was nominated in two of the 69 categories, but came away empty-handed. Petras, who was born in the Rhineland, lost to Beyoncé with “Renaissance” in the Top Dance/Electronic Album category with her album “Feed the Beast”. As a top collaboration, she had to beat the winner Metro Boomin, The Weeknd & 21 Savage (“Creepin”) with British singer Sam Smith for “Unholy”.
