The Billboard Music Award is an honour given by Billboard to recognise artists who have the highest album sales, digital song sales, streaming, touring, social engagement and radio airplay time.

This award is different to other ceremonies, such as the Grammy Award, which is based off of votes received by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. The 2018 awards were based off of data collected from the 8th of April 2017 to the 31st of March 2018. This year the Billboard Music Awards was hosted at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Find the full list of winners highlighted in pink below!

Personally, I feel the red carpet this year was a big disappointment. Most of the outfits were either boring or simply terrible. Take a look at the fashion choices:
