Mariah nominated for Billboard Award
Mariah Carey's pop-funk hit "Loverboy" has been nominated for a Billboard Music Award
in the category of Top R&B/Hip-Hop Single Sales. Her competitors include Destiny's Child's
"Bootylicious", Lil Romeo's "My Baby", and Usher's "U Remind Me". Carey's "Loverboy" sold
nearly 500,000 copies in its first three weeks of distribution and made Rolling Stone's
Best Selling list, coming in at number one. Lil Romeo's "My Baby" also made the list,
racking in at number seven, while Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious" didn't make the list.
However, the single was big competition for "Loverboy" and even kept it out of Billboard's
top slot on the Hot 100. Curiously enough, Usher's "U Remind Me" wasn't released as a
commercial CD single, like many other of today's contemporary hits.
Presented by Heineken, the awards ceremony will be held Aug. 9 at the Billboardlive venue
in Miami Beach, at the close of the three-day Billboard-AURN R&B/Hip-Hop Conference, which
is to be hosted at the nearby Eden Roc Resort. The American Urban Radio Networks (AURN)
will provide coverage of the conference and the awards ceremony to more than 400 U.S. radio
stations. The awards are based on recordings' and artists' performances on Billboard's
R&B/Hip-Hop and Rap charts over the year beginning with the June 2, 2001, issue and ending
with the May 25, 2002, issue.
Carey has won nearly twenty Billboard Music Awards in the past, including 1999's Artist
of the Decade.

Many thanks to Mariah Land.
