Die renommierten Billboard Music Awards wurden verliehen. Im Jahr 2018 hat eine Vielzahl an unterschiedlichen Künstlern gewonnen, unter den elektronischen Musikern haben dabei The Chainsmokers richtig abgeräumt. Für das Duo, das in sechs Kategorien nominiert war, gab es am Ende drei Preise. Außerdem erfolgreich waren der britische Superstar Ed Sheeran, Rapper Kendrick Lamar, R&B-Sänger Bruno Mars und die Reggaeton-Hymne "Despacito".
Die Chainsmokers haben sich über die vergangen Jahre konstant zu einem der bekanntesten Acts der elektronischen Musikszene entwickelt. Die drei Auszeichnungen bei den Billboard Music Awards 2018 in den Kategorien "Top Dance/Electronic Artist", "Top Dance/Electronic Album" mit "Memories... Do Not Open" und "Top Dance/Electronic Song" für "Something Just Like This" mit Coldplay zeigen ihre Dominanz in der EDM-Welt.
Die Awards widmen Alex Pall und Andrew Taggart alias The Chainsmokers dem kürzlich verstorbenen Produzenten Avicii, der Schwede habe nicht nur sie beide sondern auch die EDM-Szene im Allgemeinen geprägt. Ebenfalls in den EDM-Kategorien waren Superstars wie Calvin Harris, Cheat Codes, Clean Bandit, Kygo, Marshmello, Odesza, Zedd und eben Avicii selbst nominiert.
