Billboard Music Awards: Full List of Winners as Mary J. Blige Gets Icon Award (VIDEO)
The stars of music were out at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday night for the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, which aired exclusively on NBC and Peacock.
It was a successful night for first-time finalist Olivia Rodrigo, who took home seven awards, the most wins of the night by any artist. The “Drivers License” singer picked up the trophies for Top New Artist, Top Female Artist, and Top Billboard Global 200 Artist.
Ye (fka Kanye West) had the second most wins of the night, including Top Christian Artist, Top Gospel Artist, Top Gospel Song, and Top Gospel Album. Drake followed behind with five wins, taking his grand total to 34 wins, the most Billboard Music Awards of all-time.
Elsewhere, Doja Cat picked up four wins, including Top R&B Artist and Top R&B Female Artist, while Mary J. Blige was honored with the Icon Award, which included a rare TV appearance from Janet Jackson, who presented Blige with the coveted trophy.
“The way the world is now, I think people think icons are born that way, that they become a legend overnight,” Blige said after collecting her award. “But that is definitely not the case. It takes a lot of time, hard work, and a lot of surviving trial and error to achieve greatness.”
Blige was also part of the ceremony’s star-studded line-up of performers, alongside Becky G, Burna Boy, Dan + Shay, Ed Sheeran, Elle King, Florence + the Machine, Latto, Machine Gun Kelly, Maxwell, Megan Thee Stallion, Miranda Lambert, Rauw Alejandro, Silk Sonic, and Travis Scott.
Also performing on the show was Morgan Wallen, who received public backlash last year when he was caught on camera saying the N-word to friends. The country star performed his new single, “Don’t Think Jesus,” followed by a rendition of his hit song “Wasted on You.” Wallen also won the award for Top Country Artist.
