He was followed by the late Pop Smoke with 5 and BTS and Bad Bunny with four apiece. The finalists of the award were chosen based on their performance on the Billboard Charts as well as streaming platform statistics, music sales, social engagement, and radio airplay.
The Weeknd, while accepting one of his several awards on camera promised a change of stylic pace to come in his future album and the performance cycles. In 2020, Post Malone took home the most awards with 9 out of his 16 nominations.
