Post Malone Wins Big At “BBMAs”: Complete List Of Winners & Performances
It’s a wrap for this year’s Billboard Music Awards, and the winners are currently celebrating their recognitions. Post Malone swept through his nominations this year, taking home nine awards including that of Top Artist. “I’m honestly blown away by the love that everybody’s shown to me,” he said. “Honestly, I appreciate more than I could ever express. It’s kind of a big deal for me and everybody involved because we work our asses off, and we just try our best every day.”
Khalid will also have to dust off room on his shelves for his awards that include Top R&B Artist, Top Male R&B Artist, Top R&B Album, and Top R&B Song. Summer Walker nabbed her first Billboard trophy for Top R&B Female Artist, while Billie Eilish was honored for Top New Artist, Top Female Artist, and Top Billboard 200 Album.
We’re still feeling the effects of “Old Town Road,” because Lil Nas X was also a big winner this (October 14) evening. The budding artist received Top 100 Song, Top Streaming Song, and Top Rap Song. Lizzo was nominated in a slew of categories and took home the award for Top Song Sales Artist, and during her acceptance speech, she challenged people to speak up.
“If you’re at home right now and you’re thinking about changing yourself, this is your sign to remain who you are. When people try to suppress something, it’s because they’re afraid of your power,” said Lizzo. “So whether it’s through music, protests, or your right to vote, use your power, use your voice and refuse to be suppressed.”

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
