Billboard Music Awards 2023: Complete list of winners
Swift already holds the title of top women’s BBMA winner, with a total of 29 career wins. This year, she could become the overall record holder if she can achieve enough to beat Drake, who has 34 wins. And if you get at least 14 wins, you will be there. It would also beat Drake’s record for most awards won in one night (check number 13). We’re excited to see how tonight goes, as Drake is ready to take on 14 impressive categories himself.
Other names to keep an eye on include Morgan Wallen and SZA, who have 17 entries each; The Weeknd is at No. 16, and Zack Bryan is at No. 14.
This year, the BBMAs changed things up. Instead of a red carpet and broadcast ceremony, the awards will kick off winners’ ceremonies and presentations online. Events begin at 8pm ET/5pm PT on Sunday, November 19 on BBMAs.watch, BBMAs and Billboard social channels.
BBMA winners are determined by year-end Billboard chart performance metrics. Eligibility dates for this year’s awards are based on charts dated November 19, 2022 through October 21, 2023.
