She’s also one of only four artists to have a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in each of the last four decades, as well as the first woman to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 (with “Scream,” her duet with brother Michael).

Hosted by Kelly Clarkson, the 2018 BBMAs will air LIVE from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 20th @ 8PM ET/5PM PT on NBC.
