Si è svolto ieri, 18 maggio 2014, l’appuntamento annuale con il Billboard Music Awards, show americano sponsorizzato dalla famosa classifica che anche in questa edizione ha premiato gli artisti più noti, con più incassi ed esposizione mediatica sulla piazza statunitense. Vince Justin Timberlake nella categoria Top Artist, Lorde è la migliore New Artist, Katy Perry si posiziona al primo posto della Top Female Artist, Jennifer Lopez (che esegue il nuovo singolo First Love) si aggiudica l’Icon Award, fino ad arrivare alle liste legate al digitale con Justin Bieber che si porta a casa un Top Social Artist e Miley Cyrus, il Top Streaming Artist.
La lista completa è in consultazione qui sotto assieme ad alcuni streaming della manifestazione che vedono protagonista la stessa Cyrus con i Flaming Lips nella – già svelata – cover della beatlesiana Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Lorde che suona dal vivo Tennis Court, Iggy Azalea e Charli XCX nel duetto di Fancy e, non ultimo, un discutibile ologramma di Michael Jackson che, assieme ad alcuni ballerini (veri) esegue Slave to the Rhythm, brano tratto dall’album postumo Xscape (tutti gli streaming, via Mr. World Premiere).
