Information about Billboard Music Award

The Billboard Music Awards, sponsored by Billboard magazine and held annually in December, is one of several annual United States music awards shows (among the others are the American Music Awards, the Grammy Awards and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony).

The BMAs (second of what are considered the "Big Three" music awards) have been held annually since 1990, and like the AMAs, this awards show honors winners based on popularity—in this case, based on Billboards year-end music charts, which are based on Nielsen data for sales, downloads and airplay. Awards are given for the top album/artist/single in every genre. Since 1992, the awards also held out a Billboard Century Award' which pays tribute to some of the classic artists in each decade.

Since its inception, the BMAs have been telecast on the FOX network.They were cancelled after the 2006 show.
