After a first round of voting by fans, Carrie Underwood, OneRepublic and Ellie Goulding have earned the top three finishers places. The Billboard Milestone Award is designed to honor the music artists that are innovative and have earned a remarkable milestone in the Billboard charts in the last 12 months.
Carrie Underwood of "See You Again" hit No. 2 on Billboard Airplay chart Country like his previous release "Two Black Cadillacs” had done. Also, Carrie Underwood continues to blow away the competition with ticket sales. According to Taste of Country, the first 22 shows of 2013 Blown Away Tour Carrie Underwood sold out.
Carrie Underwood concert props and special effects, similar to what was seen during the 2013 ACM Awards only add to its dynamic voice and stage presence. Their creativity and commitment to visual and emotional performances keep the fans coming back for more.
Carrie Underwood’s position as a finalist for the Billboard Milestone Award may come as a surprise to some as Luke Bryan seemed ready to win the nomination.
Luke Bryan was nominated for seven Billboard Music Awards, including a double nomination in the category of country song with "Crash My Party" and “That’s my kind of night.” He was one of the first performers announced for the show, so all in all adding to the expectation that he might receive the final nomination.
Despite the growing popularity of Luke Bryan, however, Carrie Underwood has shown once again that does not have a base of ultra loyal fans. That fan base keeps you on top of the list of the most successful American Idol winners too. According to Forbes, from June 2012-2013 Carrie Underwood earned $ 31 million, placing it well ahead of the second runner, Kelly Clarkson, who won $ 7 million.
A second round of fan voting will determine if Carrie Underwood is the latest winner of Billboard Milestone Award. The Billboard Music Awards will air on ABC on May 18.
