2024 Billboard Music Awards finalists: Full list led by Zach Bryan, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen
The 2024 Billboard Music Awards have announced their finalists in 72 categories. The awards will take place on Thursday, Dec. 12, in a multi-platform event to be hosted by comedian Michelle Buteau. They will air on FOX, Fire TV Channels, and Paramount+ at 8:00pm Eastern and Pacific, with additional performances set to stream on Billboard.com and across BBMAs and Billboard social media platforms. The winners are decided based on year-end performance metrics on the Billboard charts. Scroll down for the complete list of finalists.
Zach Bryan leads the list with 21 citations across 18 categories,, followed by Taylor Swift with 17 total entries in 16 categories; Swift is currently tied with Drake as the most awarded artist in BBMAs history with 39 total trophies, so she only needs to win once to stand alone in the record books. Next up, Morgan Wallen is a finalist 15 times, Sabrina Carpenter nine times, and Teddy Swims and Tyla eight times apiece.
Dick Clark Productions CEO Jay Penske said in a statement, “We are thrilled to bring the 2024 Billboard Music Awards to multiple platforms, ensuring fans have more options to watch the very artists they helped propel to the top of the charts. By partnering with FOX, Paramount+ and Fire TV Channels, we are able to reach music enthusiasts where they are, whether they’re tuning in on TV, streaming on-demand, or watching from their mobile devices.”
Buteau added, “Music is just one of those magical devices that can bring people together no matter what walk of life they’re from. And that’s what makes the Billboard Music Awards so special. These amazing, chart topping artists deserve to be celebrated and that’s exactly what we’re going to do! With me hosting, you can expect a fun party, a cute celebration and a whole moment in a plus size sequin suit!”
