Both artists took home six awards
Last night, Vegas’ MGM Hotel became the epicenter of the music industry, as it hosted the celebration of the Billboard Music Awards. The event turned out to be a magnificent gala, full of stars, surprises, emotions and great performances.
The night had two massive winners: Eminem and Justin Bieber , who took home six coveted awards. How interesting, right? Food for thought for researchers!
The Detroit-born rapper ruled the following categories: Top Artist, Top Rap Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album and Top Rap Album for 'Recovery', as well as Top Rap Song for 'Love The Way You Lie', his duet with Rihanna. Meanwhile, the Canadian pop star picked up these awards: Top New Artist, Top Pop Album for 'My World 2.0', Top Social Artist, Top Digital Media Artist, Top Streaming Artist and Top Streaming Song (Video) for 'Baby'.
Rihanna –Top Female Artist!- Lady Gaga, Usher, Taylor Swift, Taio Cruz and indie rockers Mumford and Sons were honored with three statues each.
Beyonce proved once again why she deserves the Artist of the Milenium Award, as she delivered a show-stopping performance of her new song Run The World Girls. As part of her tribute, a footage including some of the greatest artist of all time (from Barbra Streisand to U2’s Bono or Stevie Wonder) praising Beyonce was featured in the gala.
