Olivia Rodrigo has topped Billboard charts on countless occasions during the past year and her domination at the Billboard Music Awards was easy to predict. The 19-year-old rising star picked up seven trophies at this ceremony, followed by Drake with five.

Despite her domination at the BBMAs, Rodrigo failed to pick up the biggest award of the night—the top artist. This honor went to Drake, who won five awards at this ceremony, bringing his career total to 34 and extending his record as the most-awarded artist in the history of the Billboard Music Awards.

Rodrigo might’ve missed the chance to win the top artist award, but that didn’t stop her from being crowned the top new artist and top female artist. She also won awards for the top Hot 100 artist, top streaming songs artist, top radio songs artist, top Billboard 200 Global artist, and top Billboard 200 album with Sour.

Rodrigo didn’t do so great in the songs categories, despite the enormous success of her song “Good 4 U”. “Stay” by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber defeated this smash hit in most categories it was running in including the top Hot 100 song, top streaming song, and top Billboard Global 200 song.

The 2022 Billboard Music Awards were hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs and they took place in Las Vegas on May 15.
