This marks the show’s return to Fox, which carried the show from its 1990 inaugural broadcast through 2006. In addition, Paramount+ will provide on-demand streaming of the show, while the free Fire TV Channels app will provide one-click access to fans using Amazon devices (Fire TV smart TVs and streaming media players and Fire Tablets).

“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,” Jay Penske, chairman and CEO of PMC and CEO of Dick Clark Productions, said in a statement. “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.”

The BBMAs will celebrate music’s greatest achievements with exclusive original performances, artist interviews, and award celebrations taking place from global locations and in the midst of sold-out tours. Shaboozey will deliver a special performance from W Hollywood, part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. Additional performers and special guests will be announced soon.

The BBMAs honors the year’s biggest artists, albums, songs, producers and songwriters across multiple genres, as determined by year-end performance metrics on the Billboard charts. The eligibility dates for this year’s awards are aligned with Billboard’s Year-End Charts tracking period, which measures music consumption from the charts dated Oct. 28, 2023 through Oct. 19, 2024.

The 2024 Billboard Music Awards is produced by Dick Clark Productions.

Bryan leads the 2024 BBMA finalists. He is up for 18 awards with 21 total entries. Swift, the most decorated female BBMAs artist of all time, is a finalist in 16 categories with 17 total entries. Wallen, who won the most BBMAs in 2023 (11), this year celebrates 15 finalist entries in 13 categories, including five for “I Had Some Help” with Post Malone.

Carpenter is in fourth place in terms of most mentions this year, with nine entries. Other artists who are finalists five or more times are Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, Teddy Swims and Tyla (eight each); Bad Bunny, Benson Boone, Chandler Moore, Jung Kook, Naomi Raine, Shaboozey and SZA (six each); and KAROL G, Linkin Park and Maverick City Music, five each.

Swims, Tyla, Boone and Shaboozey are first-time BBMA finalists, as are Tommy Richman (four), Falling in Reverse (three), Forest Frank (three), Junior H (three), Chappell Roan (two), ENHYPEN (two), Muni Long (two), and The Red Clay Strays (two).

Swift and Drake are currently tied for the most BBMA wins by any artist – 39 each. They are also tied for the most wins for Top Artist (three each). They are both nominated for Top Artist again this year, where they are competing with Bryan, Carpenter and Wallen.

Three new awards were added this year – Top Hard Rock Album, Top Hard Rock Artist, and Top Hard Rock Song. HARDY is represented in each of the three categories; Falling in Reverse and Linkin Park are represented in two of them.

Artists receiving cross-genre recognition include Beyoncé, Dolly Parton and Post Malone.

Bad Bunny is vying for his fifth consecutive win as Top Latin Artist. He is competing this time with Fuerza Regida, Junior H, KAROL G and Peso Pluma.

The 2024 Billboard Music Awards is presented by Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s travel program and portfolio of more than 30 hotel brands. For more information, visit JoinMarriottBonvoy.com/BBMAs2024/.

Buteau stars in the Netflix comedy series Survival of the Thickest, which she created and executive produced. Inspired by her autobiographical book of essays of the same name, the series was released in July 2023 and wrapped production on its second season in 2024.
