Having her career take off near the turn of the millennium and being a pop icon to the millennial generation makes it fitting that Britney Spears will be receiving the Millennium Award at this year’s Billboard Music Awards.
The award, previously bestowed up on the likes of Beyoncé (2011) and Whitney Houston (2012) is a career achievement award and, in the spirit of her prestigious career, Spears will be performing a medley of her hits at the awards show, according to USA Today.
Spears has won six Billboard Music Awards in the past, had six albums debut atop the Billboard 200 and has had 24 Top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Billboard Music Awards air May 22 on ABC at 8 pm ET and 5 pm PT.
