Post Malone wins nine Billboard Music Awards, including best artist

Post Malone was the big winner at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, taking home nine prizes including top artist and top male artist.

His other awards included Top Billboard 200 artist, Top Hot 100 artist and Top streaming songs artist.

Billie Eilish picked up three awards including top female artist and top new artist.

Eight of his trophies were delivered in a cart by host Kelly Clarkson, who pushed them towards him "Covid-style".

The three-hour ceremony, which was originally scheduled for April, was held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. While many artists performed in person, there was no live audience.

Due to the delay, the show mostly celebrated hits from last year, with Lil Nas X taking home four prizes for his hit single Old Town Road.
