U2 NOMINATED FOR TWO BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS

U2 is nominated for two Billboard Music Awards: Top Duo/Group and Top Touring Artist. The Award show will be broadcast on ABC on May 22 at 8 p.m. ET.(U.S.)

The awards are primarily based on global box office numbers reported to Billboard Boxscore from Oct. 1, 2009, through Sept. 30, 2010.

The finalists for the Top Tour and Top Draw awards, which acknowledge the top grossing and ticket selling tours, respectively, are the same three global treks: U2's ongoing 360 tour, AC/DC's Black Ice tour, and Bon 

Jovi's The Circle tour.
