During the Billboard Music Awards, a magazine called Billboard, which is published in America, named the performers who were recognized as the best over the past year.
In the main category "Best Artist", the award went to Drake, whose full name sounds like Aubrey Drake Graham. This is a producer and rapper from Canada, who has already received prestigious awards several times. This time, he had to compete with trap artist Travis Scott, rapper Post Malone, pop singer Ariana Grande and hip-hop singer Cardi B.
This artist received special attention, since at the last ceremony he took a huge number of prizes, as he was recognized as the best rap performer among men, the best Hot100 artist, the best singer, the best Billboard 200 artist, the best Streaming Songs artist, the best-selling musician, the best artist on the radio. The album by this artist, Scorpion, received the award as the best record of the year.
In total, this time the rap artist Drake managed to take away 12 awards from the ceremony. It is worth remembering that a couple of years ago he took one more statuette from this prestigious ceremony. At the moment, he is considered the absolute record holder of the Billboard Music Awards, which is the owner of 27 statuettes of this prestigious event.
There were awards that went to other performers. So Ariana Grande was recognized as the best singer. The prize for Best New Artist went to rap artist Juice WRLD, whose real name sounds like Jared Higgins.
An American band called "Imagine Dragons" won the Billboard Music Awards this time for "Best Rock Artist". This team managed to snatch victory even from the legendary Queens, whose songs have been actively played on the radio in the last year. The reason for the new wave of popularity of the compositions of these groups is due to the release of a film called "Bohemian Rhapsody", which tells about Freddie Mercury, played by actor Rami Malek.
Cardi B was named Best Rap Performer. Another award she received jointly with Maroon 5, for her work on the song Girls Like You. South Korean boy band BTS was named the most popular musician on social media and the best group.
