Pink to receive Icon Award at Billboard Music Awards

Bad Bunny was named top Latin artist during the live ceremony, and delivered his speech entirely in Spanish. He also won three awards in the off-air categories: top Latin male artist, top Latin song and top Latin album, a category in which he set a record for becoming the first Latin artist to land three nods in the same category.

Drake, who holds the title for most Billboard Music Award wins of all time, received the Artist of the Decade Award.

Pop Smoke received the award for top Billboard 200 album for his posthumously released debut album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. Audrey Jackson accepted the award on behalf of her son, who died in February 2020 at age 20 of gunshot wounds after four intruders broke into the house he was renting. One of them was only 15.

Jon Bon Jovi introduced Icon Award recipient Pink, noting that they had been longtime friends. In her speech, Pink said, “This is an absolute honor. Dream big because what if it comes true?”

Machine Gun Kelly was named top rock artist. BTS won three awards, including top duo/group, top song sales artist and top social artist (a fan-voted award). They also performed ‘Butter’ from their home base of Seoul, South Korea.

Among the performers were The Jonas Brothers, AJR, Bad Bunny, Duran Duran, Glass Animals, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis with Sounds of Blackness featuring Ann Nesby, Karol G, The Weeknd and Twenty One Pilots. DJ Khaled also lit the stage on fire as did Pink and daughter Willow.
