Billboard Music Awards: Season 10

The Season 10 show of the **Billboard Music Awards** were hosted on November 5, 2022. Interscope Records executive Lana Del Rey resumed hosting duties after Interscope representative Taylor Swift stepped in as host for the previous ceremony. This season's awards ceremony would retain fifteen of the seventeen categories from the previous year - with Best Influencer being clarified and renamed as Best Social Media Influencer. Two new categories would be added to this year's line-up; Best Promotional Album and Best Media Project. Billboard representatives Karen Smith and New York would return as the hosts of the red carpet pre-show.

Doja Cat was the most awarded artist of the evening, with a total of six wins. Demi Lovato was the most nominated artist earning a total of 14 nominations.

Doja Cat and Ed Sheeran were honored with the 'You Can Sit With Us' Legacy Award. The show also featured a very special in memoriam tribute to Sheeran, but was unfortunately interrupted and cut short by New York.

## Background

The Season 10 awards were hosted on November 5, 2022 by singer and label executive Lana Del Rey. Seventeen categories would be awarded during this season's ceremony - of which fifteen return from Season 9. New categories Best Media Project and Best Promotional Album are to be given out for the very first time. This season's awards follows the same structure as the previous year. Labels will submit shortlists of their artists' greatest releases. The general artist committee would then submit between five and eight of these releases per category for nomination - of which a minimum of five for most categories would be nominated. A slight change for this season's structure is that the "big three" categories (Artist of the Season, Album of the Season, Single of the Season) will now require between eight and ten releases for submissions, with the minimum number of official nominees being eight. After the nominees are revealed, a vote will be held by the general public leading up to the awards ceremony.

The eligibility cut-off for this season was October 16, 2022 (Season 10b, Week 3). Committee submissions for nominations opened on October 22, 2022 and closed five days later. The nominees for this year's ceremony were announced on October 28, 2022. Voting for the awards would open immediately and also close six days later, on November 3, 2022.
