The star-studded 2021 Billboard Music Awards have wrapped, and The Weeknd was the night’s big winner, taking “Top Artist,” “Top Male Artist,” “Top R&B Artist” and “Top Radio Song,” among other accolades.
Hosted by Nick Jonas from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Sunday’s spectacular also saw P!nk honored with the 2021 “Icon” award. Drake with the “Artist of the Decade” nod and Trae Tha Truth named the 2021 “Change Maker.”
According to Billboard, award finalists and winners are based on “key fan interactions with music, including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay and social engagement, tracked by Billboard and its data partners, including MRC Data.”
The 2021 awards are based on the chart period that spanned March 21, 2020 through April 3, 2021. Meanwhile, fan-voted categories for 2021 included “Top Social Artist” and “Top Collaboration.”
The non-televised portion of the awards were hosted by actor Matthew Hoffman on Instagram Live early Sunday, in which roughly three-quarters of the honorees were named.
Jonas then took the reins for the televised portion Sunday night, announcing the final nine winners interspersed with live and remote performances from artists that included the Jonas Brothers, the Weeknd, BTS, Alicia Keys and Drake.
