2012 Billboard Award winners
The 2013 Billboard Music Awards will bring the top celebs in music to Las Vegas’ MGM Gardens tonight, May 19. This year’s program will include performances from Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and Miguel.
And while we wait to see how stars like Fun, Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift fare with their tied 11 nominations each, we’d like to reflect on last year’s big winners.
Adele swept the 2012 ceremony and took home 12 awards while others like Rihanna were not so lucky. The Bajan songstress only took home one award for “Top Streaming Artist.”
