SEVENTEEN and Teddy Swims are the first performers announced for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards. Hosted by actress and comedian Michelle Buteau, the 2024 BBMAs presented by Marriott Bonvoy is set to air on Thursday, Dec. 12, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX and Fire TV Channels, and on-demand on Paramount+, with performances also rolling out across Billboard.com, and via BBMAs and Billboard social channels.
Both artists have impacted the Billboard charts this year. Swims’ “Lose Control” topped the Billboard Hot 100 in March. His follow-up, “The Door,” reached No. 24 in October. His debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), reached No. 17 on the Billboard 200 in May. (Part 2 is due in late January.) SEVENTEEN has had six top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 since mid-2022. The K-pop group reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Artist 100 chart in May 2023.
Both artists are finalists for BBMAs this year. SEVENTEEN is a finalist for top K-pop touring artist. Swims is a finalist for eight awards — top new artist, top song sales artist, top Hot 100 song, top streaming song, top radio song, top selling song, top Billboard Global 200 song, top Billboard Global (excl. U.S.) song
As previously announced, Zach Bryan, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen and Sabrina Carpenter are the leading finalists for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.
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).
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 Billboard Music Awards are produced by dick clark productions, which is owned by MRC. MRC and Penske Media are co-parent companies of Billboard.
