Ariana Grande set for Billboard Music Awards

A pair of hot up-and-comers have joined the ranks of stars set to appear at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards.

It was announced Monday that Top New Artist finalist Ariana Grande will perform Problem — the first single off her sophomore album, due this fall — at the show, with another rising star, Iggy Azalea. The track debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Digital Songs chart and No. 3 on its Hot 100, the highest debut this year on both charts.

Problem also sold a whopping 438,000 downloads, making Grande, at 20, the youngest woman to debut with more than 400,000 downloads.

Other performers lined up for the awards ceremony — which will air live from Las Vegas at 8 PM ET on ABC — include Imagine Dragons, Jason Derulo, Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, Lorde, Luke Bryan, Miley Cyrus, Pitbull, Ricky Martin, 5 Seconds of Summer, Florida Georgia Line and Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood.
