tonight,
May 20, at
8 p.m. on
ABC.
To
get ready for the event, check out GL’s playlist inspired by our favorite
nominees and performers!
“He Won’t Go”
– Adele
No
matter what Adele song you listen to, it will always be amazing, which is
probably why she is a finalist in 18 of the award categories this year!
“Boyfriend” -
Justin Bieber
This
song may take a couple listens for you to start to appreciate Justin’s new
sound, but after that, you’ll keep listening just because you like it so much.
“Next 2 You” -
Chris Brown feat. Justin Bieber
With
Chris and Justin on the same track, how can you not get hooked? No matter the
type of music you crave, this song will be included for sure.
“Princess of
China” - Coldplay feat. Rihanna
This
is by far one of the best songs off Coldplay’s new album. Rihanna fits in the
song perfectly and soon enough this will be your fave new track.
“Sorry for
Party Rocking” - LMFAO
Who
knew a duo like this would be finalists in 17 award categories for this year’s
Billboard Music Awards?! When you think of that many nominations, you think of
huge singing sensations, but LMFAO has earned it with their party-oriented, fun
jams.
“Payphone” -
Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa
Once
again, Maroon 5 has captured our ears! It seems like they can do no wrong. You
might be skeptical at first because Wiz is featured on here, but the
collaboration turned out super well.
“Chasing the
Sun” - The Wanted
They
made us glad they came out with this first single and now they’ll be making us
chase the sun with this ridiculously catchy tune. This hot UK boy band just
keeps the hits coming.
“Good Girl” -
Carrie Underwood
As
one of the leading country-pop singers since she started on American Idol, Carrie’s released amazing
song after amazing song. “Good Girl” is no exception to that lovely rule.
Play all the tunes right here…
Be
sure to catch the 2012 Billboard Music Awards tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
