Is it 2016 or 2004? We can’t be sure, but all I know is I’m currently bumping “Oh” now after seeing both of those names in the same sentence.

Ludacris and Ciara have been tapped as hosts of the 2016 Billboard Awards, going down Sunday, May 22 in Las Vegas. While this is CiCi‘s first year with hosting duties, Luda is a bit of a vet with two prior years under his belt.

The nominees were announced by the pair on Good Morning America this morning, with additional nominees announced live via Billboard Music Award’s Facebook and Periscope following the show. Nominees are based on album and digital songs sales, radio airplay, streaming, touring and social engagement between March 23, 2015 through March 17, 2016.

Find out who’s up for an award below! [Congrats to our guy Fetty Wap, who’s up for an award in 10 categories – one of which he’s in twice!]
