It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Britney Spears, and as the singer is reportedly set to drop her new single in a matter of days, it was just announced that she will be honored for her lifetime achievements at the upcoming Billboard Music Awards.
The move no doubt coincides with an imminent single and album launch around the same time and sees her follow the likes of Whitney Houston & Beyonce who also previously received this honor.
Via USA Today:
The Billboard Music Awards are about to hit an artist one more time with one of their Millennium Awards — and this time the honoree is Britney Spears.
Meant to acknowledge outstanding career achievements and influence in the music industry, Billboard Millennium Awards were previously handed out to Beyoncé (in 2011) and Whitney Houston (in 2012).
Spears has collected six Billboard Music Awards in the past, and had six albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 24 Top 40 singles charting on the Billboard Hot 100 (five of which went to No. 1).
Spears will perform a medley of her hits at the show, which will be hosted by Ludacris and Ciara. The 2016 Billboard Music Awards will air live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas May 22 on ABC, at 8 PM ET and 5 PM PT.
You better work Brit!
