00:01
The Billboard Music Awards continues to add stars to this year's line-up
00:05
as we can now officially announce Salt-N-Pepa will be performing
00:09
with En Vogue on May 20th.
00:16
Salt-N-Pepa made their chart debut in 1987 and one year later,
00:21
their iconic track Push It became the first rap song by a female act
00:25
to hit the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100,
00:27
eventually climbing all the way up to No. 19.
00:36
But it was their collaboration with En Vogue in 1994
00:40
that earned the act their biggest hit to date on the Hot 100,
00:43
the No. 3 peaking, What A Man.
00:49
Thirty years later, we're still pushing it all over the world
00:52
and we're still loved and celebrated by fans we grew up with
00:55
as well as new fans, Salt-N-Pepa said in a statement.
00:58
Looking back at all the barriers we've broken as women in this very male-dominated
01:02
genre of music, being the first two female rappers to break the top 20
01:06
on the Billboard Hot 100 is right up there as one of the best moments
01:10
of our amazing career. We are blessed.
01:13
Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue now join the previously announced performers,
01:17
including Kelly Clarkson, Camila Cabello, BTS, Ariana Grande,
01:22
John Legend, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Shawn Mendes,
01:27
and Christina Aguilera featuring Demi Lovato.
01:34
It all goes down May 20th at 8pm ET, 5pm Pacific only on NBC,
01:40
and let me know which performance you're most excited to see down in the comments.
01:44
Until next time, for Billboard News, I'm Kevan Kenney.
