Taylor Swift was the big winner, winning five times, including for artist of the year. The late Michael Jackson earned four awards. Other multiple winners included Jay-Z and the Black Eyed Peas, with two each.

Fans voted online to choose the winners of the American Music Awards, which honor the year’s top-selling artists in eight popular genres. Sunday’s show drew 14.2 million viewers and a 5.5 preliminary rating for adults 18-49. That’s the largest overall audience for the show since 2002 and its biggest rating since 2004.
