Just after debuting her new music video, Adele took home the Top Artist prize at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards Sunday night, which aired live from Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena on ABC. The "Hello" singer, who wasn't on hand to accept the award due to her current tour, beat out Justin Bieber, Drake, Taylor Swift and The Weeknd for the top honor. "It's lovely to be in everyone's company," Adele said in her video acceptance speech, adding, "I'm about to go on stage!" Finalists are based on Nielsen U.S. year-end chart performance - determined by collecting data on sales, number of downloads and total airplay.
