Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato to debut new duet at 2018 Billboard Music Award
The rumors are true! Dick Clark Productions and NBC have announced that Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato have teamed up for the first time and will perform the world television debut of Aguilera’s new single, “Fall In Line,” featuring Lovato, at the “2018 Billboard Music Awards.”
Since last year, there had been rumors that the two were coming together for a collaboration but no confirmation was made, until now.
Aguilera and Lovato will join previously announced performers BTS, Camila Cabello, Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, John Legend, Dua Lipa and Shawn Mendes, on a night filled with music’s biggest names. During the same awards, Janet Jackson will receive this year’s Icon Award.
Previously, Christina announced her highly anticipated 6th studio album, Liberation, would be released on June 15. Throughout her career, she has sold more than 43 million records worldwide. At the same time, she has achieved five No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and, with No. 1s in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, she is just the fourth female artist to top the chart in three consecutive decades.
On the other hand, Demi is one of the biggest names on social media, with a combined following of over 200 million. Lovato's highly anticipated fifth studio album, 'Confident,' was released in 2015.
Within hours of the release of the first single, 'Cool for the Summer,' the anthem trended worldwide and hit No. 1 on iTunes in 37 countries.
Seeing these two talented women come together for a single is a dream come true for many fans. Nominations for the 2018 Billboard Music Awards were announced last month on NBC’s 'Today.'
Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran tie for the most nominations this year with 15 each. Voting for the two fan-voted categories – Billboard Chart Achievement Award and Top Social Artist – will open on Monday, May 14.
Since 1940, the Billboard charts have been the go-to guide for ranking the popularity of artists, songs, and albums, and are the ultimate measure of success in music.
Billboard Music Awards nominees and winners are based on key fan interactions with music. The award will be held on 21 May 2018.
