Billboard Music Awards Winners List: Post Malone Wins Top Artist

After a long delay due to the coronavirus, the 2020 Billboard Music Awards finally took place Wednesday night.

Originally scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on April 29, the 2020 BBMAs were broadcasted live on NBC from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with singer Kelly Clarkson hosting for the third consecutive time. She kicked off the socially distanced show with a rendition of “Higher Love” featuring Pentatonix and percussionist Sheila E.

The night went on to feature a total of 15 epic performances. John Legend brought viewers at home to tears with “Never Break,” a song that felt particularly emotional after the singer and Chrissy Teigen‘s miscarriage announcement. Doja Cat channeled her inner Roxie Hart to perform a medley of hits and Post Malone took things outside, performing “Circles” and “Tommy Lee” atop an industrial structure at a secret location. Demi Lovato delivered a powerful, politically-charged ballad called “Commander in Chief,” condemning President Donald Trump. The performances rounded off with a remix of “Dynamite” performed by BTS in the middle of South Korea’s Incheon Airport, and a 30th-anniversary throwback performance of “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue.

The awards ceremony saw many repeat winners, such as Post Malone, who took home Top Artist and eight additional trophies. Lizzo picked up the award for Top Song Sales Artist and created another highlight of the night with an impassioned speech about voting and the suppression of black voices. Garth Brooks was presented with the Icon Award by none other than Cher. Other big winners of the night included Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X.
