How does Billboard decide their nominees? "Billboard Music Awards finalists are based on album and digital song sales, radio airplay, streaming, touring and social-media interactions -- measurements that are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners... The awards are based on the reporting period of March 10, 2014 to March 8, 2015."
The 2015 Billboard Music Awards will air live from Las Vegas on Sunday, May 17 at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
