Drake handily leads the list of nominees for the 2016 BET Awards with nine nods. Tying for second place are Beyonce, last year’s big winner, and Rihanna with five nominations, each. Bryson Tiller, Chris Brown and Future are each up for four awards.
The nominations, announced Thursday, honor artists, entertainers and athletes in more than 20 categories, as selected by BET’s voting academy—a group of entertainment professionals and fans.
The 2016 BET Awards will take place June 26 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. They are the centerpiece of the BET Experience, which takes place June 23-26 at L.A. Live. Events include a series of concerts at Center, featuring 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, Usher, Tiller, Katt Williams and Mike Epps over three nights, and the free Fan Fest.
The BET Network airs in more than 90 million households, and the BET Awards are the channel’s #1 rated program of the year. Last year’s awards drew 6.5 million viewers, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and was cable’s top-ranked awards show of 2015.
It’s been a banner year for Drake, whose new album, Views, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 two weeks ago, selling 1.04 million equivalent albums, according to Nielsen Music. The set sold 852,000 traditional albums, but, more importantly, set a new streaming record with 245.1 million songs from the album streamed in its release week. The Billboard 200 tallies traditional album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums.
