Billboard Music Awards 2016: The Weeknd Wins Big, Rihanna Wins Bigger
The Weeknd took home eight trophies at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (May 22), but the real winners were the vocalists who blew us away.
Demi Lovato, Rihanna and Ariana Grande showed us true, unadulterated talent when they belted out their respective performances, leaving us, as they would say on the Internet, slayed. Meanwhile, The Weeknd won Top R&B Song, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Song Sales Artist, Top Streaming Songs Artist, Top Radio Songs Artist, Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Album and Top Streaming Song (Audio), but did not perform... and Sunday night was all about the performances.
