Some of the biggest faces in music will be awarded next month at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards! These awards are based on how much love fans show for the artists’ music — measured by album and track sales, radio plays and concert attendance, to name a few. Some of our favorite stars are in the running for this prestigious award.
Country/pop princess Taylor Swift is one of these finalists, and she totally deserves it! The singer/songwriter just finished her Speak Now World Tour and recording for The Hunger Games soundtrack — and she’s currently working on her next album! Tay is nominated for Top Touring Artist and Top Country Artist. Justin Bieber is also in the running for numerous Billboard Awards. The superstar is releasing his next album, Believe, on June 19 — he’s up for Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Social Artist and more! Megastar (and hair-color chameleon) Katy Perry is nominated for a ton of awards as well — including Top Artist, Top Female Artist, and Top Pop Artist!

Ready for some big news, Twihards?
Bruno Mars can now join the Twilight family (but would he be part of the wolf pack or the vampire clan?) since his song, “It Will Rain” will be on the soundtrack for Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.
Summit Entertainment released the news via the Twilight Facebook page, along with a photo of the artwork for Mars’ single. It looks like a painting – we like it.

Bruno is a talented musician so we’re expecting this song to be incredible (and most likely a little heart-wrenching).
