Luke Bryan has been announced as a performer for the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. A finalist in six categories, the announcement comes as no surprise. There’s no one hotter in Nashville right now.

It’s not clear what Bryan will sing, but a song from his Platinum certified ‘Crash My Party’ album is likely. ‘Play It Again’ is his current single on country radio. He’s aiming for his sixth straight No. 1 hit.

Other performers announced for the May 18 ABC broadcast include Jason Derulo, John Legend, OneRepublic and Imagine Dragons. More will surely be announced as the show draws near. Bryan is a finalist in six categories, including overall Top Male Artist and Top Billboard 200 Artist. He’s country’s leader in terms of nominations.
