Billboard has announced the nominees for their annual music awards and it's loaded up with the biggest artists and bands in popular music. The iconic media brand is best known for its music charts, tracking the most popular singles and albums in different genres. It also hosts events, owns a publishing firm, and oversees TV shows.
As you might guess, the major nominees are nearly all Pop, Top 40 and Country acts as usual. However, I did some digging and managed to find some artists that we actually rock here on WZLX included in the list.
Best Duo/Group: U2
Top Touring Artist and Top Rock Tour : Guns N’ Roses and U2
Top Rock Artist: Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Top Soundtrack : Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2 Which features: E.L.O., Sweet, Fleetwood Mac, George Harrison and Cheap Trick
Top Rock Album: U2, Songs of Experience
