The 2016 American Music Awards brought out the biggest names in music Sunday night at Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater on 20^th November.

The awards, which were co-hosted by Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah, were full of show stopping performancesincluding John Legend's emotional performance of Love Me Now, and Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's racy Side To Side duet.

But besides the performances, it was a competitive night. Drake led the way with a record 13 nominations and for company brought his dad. Drake won his first ever AAA for best rap/hip-hop artist, song and album for his best-selling ‘Views’, which earlier this year became the first album to earn one billion streams on Apple Music.

Ariana Grande was named Artist of The Year, beating Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Gomez, while Zayn Malik scooped New Artist of The Year. The former One Direction member Zayn Malik, who quit British boy band One Direction last year to launch a solo career, beat Canadian Shawn Mendes to take the Best New Artist trophy.

British singer Sting, who last week released his first pop/rock album in a decade, "57th and 9th," sang a medley of his hits and was presented with an honorary award recognizing his contribution to the music industry.
