  8. Tmook April 10, 2017

  9. Danzou April 10, 2017

    noneof the albums except lemonade were rnb. so sick of white people. nicki obviously snatching that award. losing my religion is a great album. the rest i could care less about.

  10. LadyEmpress8 April 10, 2017

    Beyonce should definitely win touring. I would be pissed if not. No one does it like Bey. I be at her shows lit af.

  11. Meteorite April 10, 2017

    Omg I actually miss the old layout.
    This new is truly a nightmare!
    It’s so damn bloated!

  12. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 10, 2017

    Beyonce dominating? How Sway? She has 6 nominations, Rihanna has 14. Y’all are worse than Fox News with your alternative facts.

  13. ? April 10, 2017

    Most of the people nominated on the R&B categories aren’t even R&B. The performances will suck as usual. Please don’t let The Weeknd perform.

  14. Kayla C April 10, 2017

    Rihanna and Drake dominated

  15. Cold April 10, 2017

    Bts got a nom damn

  16. Mook April 10, 2017

    Dear God, whatever you do just please don’t let Onika win that Billboard Achievement Award… her and her stupid stans will make sure we’ll never hear the end of it.

  17. east African girl April 10, 2017

    This urban blog worships beyonce and hates Rihanna but she’s wining and made beyonce like Urban Artist at this moment. #RihannaWon #foreignGirlRunAmerica #RihGlobeStar!

  18. Navy Gravy April 11, 2017

    Yasssssss Rih even though I think she should also be nominated for top billboard 200 artist seeing as how anti was in the top ten for so many months since it’s release but I billboard isn’t as shady as the Grammys so I’m not worried
