The 2014 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on 18 May, in Las Vegas, Nevada, saw some of the most predictable winners sweeping away the trophies.

Justin Timberlake emerged the biggest winner at the award gala, hosted by Ludacris, with seven trophies, including Top Artist and Top Male Artist awards.

The 33-year-old American singer, who is on Europe tour along with his band, thanked the award ceremony for the honour. He wrote:

The other finalists of the Top Artist were Miley Cyrus, Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry.

"It's not a competition, but if it was, I won. And guess what? I'm OK with that," Timberlake said about his competition singers for Top Artist in a taped speech.
