Once again, it’s time to acknowledge the many feats, from chart-topping tracks to iconic albums, that the talents in the industry have blessed us with. Last May 24 –May 23 in the United States – the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) awarded the artists that stood out and gave us the best music moments in the past year.
The ceremony, which was hosted by Nick Jonas, was held outdoors in Los Angeles and featured a mix of live and remote performances.
Many artists went home with awards that night, but there were a few notable acts that definitely dominated the awards show.
One of them was The Weeknd, who won a whopping 10 awards out of the 16 categories he was up for. The singer’s wins included the biggest award of the evening, which was Top Artist. He also snatched the Top Male Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, and Top R&B artist awards among others.
The late rapper Pop Smoke won big as well with five awards out of the ten categories he was a finalist in. The categories he won included three artist awards – Top New Artist, Top Rap Artist, and Top Rap Male Artist. He also won Top Billboard 200 Album and Top Rap Album for Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon.
BTS came out victorious too, winning every category that they were nominated for, which sums up to four trophies in total. The awards they got were Top Song Sales Artist, Top Social Artist, Top Duo/Group, and Top Selling Song for “Dynamite.” This is the K-pop group’s fifth year in a row winning the Top Social Artist award, which is a fan-voted category.
Bad Bunny also won four awards that evening. He was named Top Latin Artist and Top Latin Male Artist, got Top Latin Album for YHLQMDLG, and took home the Top Latin Song trophy for “Dákiti.”
