H.E.R. and Chris Brown Take the Lead in the 2020 Soul Train Awards Nominations

BET Networks is continuing bringing you good music ranging from R&B, Hip Hop, and Soul! The 2020 Soul Train Awards will be on Sunday, November 29, 2020 on BET, BET Her, VH1 and MTV2 at 8 pm EST.  What better way to kick off a good show than to have returning hosts Tichina Arnold and Tisha Campbell, who both appeared on the 90’s television sitcom “Martin” playing best friends on the show, but, in reality, are “real” best friends. They will be blessing the audience with their dynamic duo of comedy and plenty of laughs. This year’s soul train awards features twelve different categories, such as “Video of the Year,” “Best Collaboration,” “Best Artist of the Year,” and so forth. R&B singer H.E.R. has taken the lead with the most nominations of eight such as “Best R &B Soul Female Artist,” “The Ashford and Simpson songwriters Award,” “Best Collaboration Awards,” and “Video of the Year Award” Following behind is the Virginia native and “Go Crazy” singer Chris Brown with seven nominations in the categories of “Album/Mixtape of the Year,” “Song of the Year” “Best Dance Performance,” “Best Collaboration” and “Video of the Year” for the single “Go Crazy” with Young Thug.

The 2020 Soul Train Awards presented by BET will also have a lineup of memorable performances by stars in the Black culture and entertainment. Even though this event will be virtual, people can still enjoy a night of singing, dancing, and laughing right in the comfort of their homes. Speaking of ease of their homes, after the 2020 Soul Train Awards is the debut of the virtual series’ broadcast premiere, “Pass the Mic,” with DJ Cassidy bringing you prolific music from the ’80s and ’90s. You don’t want to miss this fantastic series!
