Lauren Daigle Nominated for Three Billboard Music Awards
It was announced earlier this week that Centricity Music's Lauren Daigle has been nominated for three Billboard Music Awards: Top Christian Artist, Top Christian Album (How Can It Be) and Top Christian Song ("Trust In You").
No stranger to the BBMA's, Daigle won last year for Top Christian Album (How Can It Be), which is nominated again this year, and this is the second consecutive year for Daigle to be nominated for Top Christian Artist.
The Billboard Music Awards will be broadcast live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 21, 2017, at 8pm ET/5pm PT on ABC. According to Billboard, the BBMA nominees are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital songs sales, streaming, radio airplay, touring and social engagement.
These measurements are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Music and Next Big Sound. The awards are based on the reporting period of March 18, 2016 through March 16, 2017.
Lauren Daigle recently had the honor to appear on the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards performing with 14-time ACM Awards winner and 14- time ACM Awards host Reba McEntire. Touted as one of the top collaborations of the evening, the duo performed McEntire's single "Back to God" from her latest album release.
Their version of the song is now available for purchase by visiting iTunes. The Academy of Country Music Awards were held April 2 in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Theater and broadcast live on CBS.
Following her first appearance on the Outcry Tour in 2015, Daigle will again join the popular tour this spring. Kicking off April 20 and running through May 13, "Outcry Tour 2017" will be hitting key markets such as Minneapolis, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Orlando, and many more.
