3. Adele (18 awards from 34 nominations)
Adele has been a staple of the music industry in recent years and is doing quite well for herself when it comes to the Billboard Music Awards. She was first nominated for awards in 2012 where she took home a record-breaking 12 awards, including the award for Top Artist of the Year. 2013, however, was not as eventful as the previous year as she only won one award despite being nominated in four other categories.
Adele’s hit song Hello was so popular that it won the Top Selling Song award which propelled her to even greater fame. She took home five awards in 2016 and she is primed to win even more in 2017.
