Awards
Billboard award winners
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 24 May 2011
The Billboard Music Awards took place in Las Vegas on Sunday. We probably should have mentioned this yesterday, but we got distracted by the BAFTAs, which also took place on Sunday. Did you see them? God, they were tedious.
Can we stop having awards ceremonies soon? Let’s all just get together and decide, once and for all, who’s best and then we can stick to that list. Doing it every year just looks like you can’t make up your mind. OK, I guess stuff like ‘the best album of the last twelve months’ isn’t something you could stick to forever, unless a label agreed to re-release one particularly good album that we all liked once a year. That would save a lot of time.
Anyway, here’s who won at the Billboard Awards. If you don’t like lists, basically Justin Bieber won most of them.
