He may have started from the bottom, but Drake has officially become the most decorated artist when it comes to the Billboard Music Awards.
Drake shattered the record for the most Billboard Music Awards wins on Wednesday night, bringing his overall total to 27 awards. The "In My Feelings" artist took home 12 during the ceremony, including top artist.
It was a quite the night for the music community. Kelly Clarkson hosted the awards from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and the show opened with a performance by Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie.
It wouldn't be a party without Cardi B, and she took home multiple awards, including top rap female artist, Top Hot 100 song, top-selling song, top radio song, top collaboration and top rap song.
It was also a night of music icons. Madonna performed her new song, "Medellin," with Maluma. Mariah Carey was the recipient of the ICON Award and sang some of her greatest hits, including "A No No," "Always Be My Baby," "Emotions," "We Belong Together" and "Hero." Despite previous criticism for lip syncing, she appeared to be singing -- most of the time.
But the most over-the-top moment of the evening came when Paula Abdul closed out the show with hits that took you back to the '80s, including "Straight Up" and "Forever Your Girl." Her dance moves were fierce, and she proved she's still got it.
