While nominations are based on cumulative consumption data – including digital and physical sales, streams, airplay, touring, and social engagement – three new categories this year will enlist fan input. These include the Billboard chart achievement award, top social artist, and top collaboration – all of which will be voted on by fans.

Joining Post Malone in the Top Artist category are Billie Eilish, the Jonas Brothers, Khalid, and Taylor Swift. Eilish is also a nominee in the Top New Artist category, alongside DaBaby, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, and Roddy Ricch.

Among the Top Billboard 200 Albums are Eilish’s bestselling When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Swift’s Lover, and Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next.
