I Billboard Music Awards incoronano Taylor Swift, Zach Bryan e Morgan Wallen: i vincitori

Come al solito, da qualche anno, la mattatrice dei Billboard Music Awards 2024 è stata Taylor Swift. La cantante, vincendo dieci statuette, tra cui Top Artist, è diventata l’artista più premiata nella storia della manifestazione. Il secondo più premiato è stato Zach Bryan con cinque riconoscimenti, grazie al successo dei suoi ultimi due dischi Zach Bryan e The Great American Bar Scene. Terzo gradino del podio a Morgan Wallen che con quattro trofei è diventato il secondo artista country più premiato di sempre. Nel mondo del K-pop trionfa Jung Kook dei BTS per il miglior album e la miglior canzone, mentre i SEVENTEEN vincono nella categoria dei tour e gli Stray Kids come Global K-pop Artist.

Shaboozey, Bad Bunny, Drake e il gruppo di musica cristiana Elevation Worship hanno vinto tre premi ciascuno. Questo porta il totale della carriera di Drake a 42 vittorie, secondo solo alla Swift. Il totale della carriera di Bad Bunny è invece di 16 vittorie. Tra gli altri artisti che si trovano in cima alla classifica dei BBMA di tutti i tempi e che sono saliti di posizione quest’anno c’è Beyoncé, che ha ottenuto il suo 17° premio in una categoria che un anno fa sarebbe sembrata piuttosto improbabile: Top Country Female Artist. Post Malone ha ottenuto la sua undicesima vittoria ai BBMA come Top Collaboration per il brano I Had Some Help, registrato insieme a Wallen.

Le sorprese

Ci sono alcune sorprese nell’elenco dei vincitori. Lose Control di Teddy Swims, che ha raggiunto la vetta della Hot 100 per una sola settimana a marzo, ha vinto il titolo di Top Hot 100 Single, battendo A Bar Song (Tipsy) di Shaboozey, che ha raggiunto la vetta della classifica per ben 19 settimane. Come è possibile? Lose Control era alla sua decima settimana nella Hot 100 il 28 ottobre 2023, la prima settimana del periodo di rilevamento, ma non aveva ancora superato il n. 58, quindi non ha perso molti punti. Al contrario, A Bar Song (Tipsy) è entrata in classifica il 27 aprile 2024, quando la metà dell’anno di rilevamento era già terminata. Una sleeper hit che è rimasta in classifica per l’intero periodo di rilevamento ha battuto un instant smash che è stato in classifica solo per metà del periodo di rilevamento.

Tra gli altri grandi esclusi ci sono Sabrina Carpenter – candidata per nove premi, non ne ha vinto nessuno – Billie Eilish, Future, Jack Harlow, Luke Combs, Metro Boomin e The Weeknd, ognuno dei quali era finalista per quattro premi.
