Best Male Artist Win
Welcome your current record holder for the most Billboard Music Awards wins on a single night. Adele previously held the record with 12 wins on a night, but Drake one-upped it last night in Las Vegas. The 6 God racked up wins for Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Song Sales Artist, Top Streaming Songs Artist, Top Rap Artist, Top Rap Tour, Top Billboard 200 Album, Top Rap Album, Top Streaming Song, Top R&B Song, and Top R&B Collaboration.
Drizzy actually won 10 awards before the show started, so he was definitely on his way to at least tying the record. The final three awards were televised and the most prestigious.

Top Billboard 200 Album WIN
Look at Nicki Minaj’s response when Drizzy complimented Vanessa, though. But he redeemed himself later on in the speech. Plus, he gave props to his pops.
“I want to say, Nicki Minaj, Iām so glad we found our way back because I love you and I could never ever see it any other way. I want to say, Lil Wayne, if it wasnāt for the risk you took, none of us would be here tonight. And I want to say, my dad got on a purple suit with purple shoes. Boy, if you donāt stop!”
Let's all give a round of š for your #BBMAs Top Artist, @Drake! He now holds the record for most wins in a year! pic.twitter.com/HtZbBYmOTR
