Pop sensation Taylor Swift stole the show at the American Music Awards on Sunday night, scooping five AMAs.
Swift won the Artist of the Year award and was also named Favorite Pop/Rock Female, Favorite Country Female and Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist. Her album Fearless was also named Favorite Country Music Album.
Taylor wasn't at the awards but in London, so she accepted her award via a satellite link.
Late King of Pop Michael Jackson was the night's other headline-grabber, scooping four awards and setting a new AMA record for most wins.
Jackson was named Favorite Soul/R&B Male and Favorite Pop/Rock Male and his Number Ones album won the Favorite Pop and Favorite Soul/R&B Album awards - earning him his 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th AMAs.
The posthumous prizes were collected by his brother Jermaine, wearing a single sequined glove, and accompanied on the first occasion by his three sons Jaffar, Jermajesty and Jeremy.
Jay-Z was another of the night's big winners, taking the Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Male and Favorite Rap/Hop Album awards. His wife Beyonce skipped the ceremony, but claimed the Favorite Soul/R&B Female award.
Other winners included Green Day, who were named Favorite Alternative Rock Group and Rascal Flatts, who collected the Favorite Country Duo/Band award for the fourth straight year.
Keith Urban won Favorite Country Male Artist, and dedicated the award to his wife Nicole Kidman and daughter Sunday, telling the crowd, "To my wife, I love you so much baby girl. This is for you and Sunday."
