Drake, The Weeknd poised for big night at Billboard Awards

NEW YORK  - Some of the Grammys' biggest critics, who felt they've been overlooked at the famed awards show, will take center stage at another event: the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.

The Weeknd called out the Grammys last year when he didn't earn a single nomination for its 2021 show, despite having the year's biggest song with "Blinding Lights” and a multi-platinum, multi-hit album with "After Hours.” But at Sunday's Billboard Awards, he's the top nominee competing for an impressive 16 awards.
