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.

Be sure to catch the 2012 Billboard Music Awards tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
