| Young Money's Drake and Nicki Minaj won eight BWU Awards between them |
Rappers Drake and Nicki Minaj have dominated the 2010 BWU Awards, each winning four awards.
Drake, who won Best New Artist last year, scored two of the biggest awards, Album of the Year and Artist of the Year. He had 30% of the votes for both awards, putting him in a comfortable lead. Drake also won Best Male Artist and Best Hip-Hop Single.
Drake lost Best Hip-Hop Artist to Nicki, who proved to be a force to be reckoned with this year. In the Best New Artist category, she was virtually uncontested, scoring 57% of the votes. She faced some more competition for Best Female Arist, but she ultimately took that home as well, with 38% of the votes. For Best Female Single, she tied with Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)", the first tie in that category ever.
Rihanna was the other big winner, taking home three awards, including Single of the Year for her collaboration with Eminem, "Love The Way You Lie". Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas, and Yolanda Be Cool each won two awards.
