Adele won a lot of bookends at the Billboard Music Awards last night

  • May 21, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

In what many are calling a strange anomaly, Adele 'scooped' twelve awards at last night's Billboard Music Awards, including Top Artist and Top Billboard 200 Album for '21'.

Daily shufflers LMFAO took home six awards for things like Hot 100 Song of the Year and Top Duo/Group (poor Lady Antebellum).

Other big winners included Coldplay and Lil Wayne with four awards each. Lady Gaga, meanwhile, got two and Shakira, Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj each took one award home.

The Top Christian Artist award went to Casting Crowns, and quite right too!

The full list of who won what is here if you've got a spare eight years.
