The Weeknd

Pop court jester The Weeknd 'scooped' (won) eight 'gongs' (awards) at last night's Billboard Music Awards, while Adele had to make do with just five.

The Weeknd basically won most of the R&B cat­egor­ies and the Hot 100 singles ones, while Adele waltzed off with things like Top Artist and Top Billboard 200 artist.

You can see who won what and so on by clicking on this link right here.

Also, the per­form­ances — including Britney's opening medley thing — can be viewed on this here website. Rihanna's was best; here's Britney though.
