Post Malone earned 16 2020 Billboard Music Awards nominations, including spots in the Top Artist, Top Rap Artist, and Top Billboard 200 Album categories. Post Malone was followed closely by Lil Nas X with 13, Billie Eilish with 12, and Khalid also with 12 nominations. 2020 marks the first year either Lil Nas X or Billie Eilish have appeared on the list of Billboard Music Awards nominees.

This year’s award show was originally set to air on April 29th live from Las Vegas. The Covid-19 pandemic forced the Billboard Music Awards to be delayed and will now take place on October 14th. Kelly Clarkson is returning to host the show for the third consecutive year.

NBC will air the 2020 Billboard Music Awards live from Los Angeles on Oct. 14th beginning at 8pm ET.
