18 nomination nel 2011, 13 nel 2012, 10 nel 2013.
Rihanna non molla la presa sui Billboard Music Awards 2013, guardando tutti dall’alto in basso grazie all’ennesima pioggia di candidature (Taylor Swift esclusa, che se n’è portata a casa 11). Nomination, lo ricordo, figlio di uno strano e misterioso incrocio di dati che riguarda vendita di dischi, singoli, airplay radiofonico, touring, streaming e interazioni sociali su Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, VEVO, e Spotify. Praticamente la qualsiasi cosa. Ancora due anni e Billboard conteggerà pure i fischiettìì sotto la doccia, le suonerie sul cellulare e le storpiature al karaoke. Solo 3 le candidature targate Madonna, con 21 di Adele CLAMOROSAMENTE ancora in corsa per più premi, e un mega super listone che vi attende, ovviamente, dopo il saltino. Scucchiona rulez.
