Los Music Awards organizados por la revista estadounidense Billboard llegan este año a la edición 22, la cuarta retransmitida por la cadena ABC y son entre los premios más importantes de la música a nivel internacional.
En particular la importancia de los Billboard Music Awards está relacionada con su conexión directa con las ventas de singles y discos: se trata sustancialmente de los premios más atentos a los andamientos comerciales de los proyectos musicales.
La edición 2014 se celebrará el próximo 18 de mayo en el esplendido escenario del MGM Grand Garden Arena de Las Vegas.
Entre los muchos nominados, protagonistas de los Awards serán seguramente Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus y Justin Timberlake, a diferencia de Lady Gaga, penalizada por resultados de ventas no demasiado exaltantes.
