While it was The Weeknd and Doja Cat who entered Sunday's Billboard Music Awards as the frontrunners, with 17 and 14 nominations respectively, Drake and Olivia Rodrigo came out on top with top artist and top new artist awards.
The ceremony, which was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and hosted by rapper P Diddy, celebrates the music industry's chart-topping artists. It includes material released by artists between April 10, 2021 and March 26, 2022.
Big-name celebrities attended the event, although there were some notable absences, including Rodrigo and Kanye West, who now goes by the name of Ye.
Awards were presented in 62 categories, with 54 being given out in a non-televised portion via a TikTok live stream.
Rodrigo won several more awards, including Top Female Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist and Top Streaming Songs Artist.
Top Duo/Group went to K-pop band BTS, who also won Top Song Sales Artist.
