Billboard Awards

Music chart trophies

The Billboard Awards are annual American music awards honoring artists based on chart performance data from Billboard magazine.

Unlike awards determined by voting, these recognize commercial success—sales, streaming, and radio airplay: She took home three Billboard Awards last night.

The ceremony has run since 1990, featuring performances by top artists.
