The American Music Award 2016 were held earlier tonight live at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.
The Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharaoh co-hosted ceremony had many-a-highlight thanks to jaw-dropping performances from the likes of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, and many more, but the biggest star of the show – as expected – remained the awards themselves.
Curious to know who took home the coveted diamond trophies? Tuck in below as we update the list of winners:
Emeli Sande is catering to both sides of the pond with the promotion of her new album ‘Long Live The Angels.’
Fresh from a run of TV spots in the UK, the Scot singer jetted to the US to perform on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.’
Backed by a full band, she belted the set’s lead single ‘Hurts’ and delivered a rousing performance.

If Janelle Monae has Oscar glory in her sights her new movie ‘Moonlight’ may make her quest a smooth one.

John Legend has unleashed a new jam in the form of ‘Penthouse Floor.’
The funky cut features Chance The Rapper and appears on the 10-time Grammy winner’s 5th studio album ‘Darkness And Light’ (due Dec. 2nd).
Though designed with the dance-floor in mind, the cut manages to pack a potent punch lyrically too.
Legend’s “penthouse” refers to the elusive level of success so many are denied due to prejudice.
Take a listen after the jump…
Little Mix are marching on to the November 18th release of their fourth studio album ‘Glory Days.’
Preceded by UK #1 ‘Shout Out To My Ex,’ the LP is being tipped by some to be the project that catapults Perrie, Jesy, Jade, and Leigh-Anne to global superstardom. After all, given the gargantuan success of predecessor ‘Get Weird,’ expectations are high.
With exactly one week to go until the album impacts retail, the ladies have rolled out an official sampler previewing its tracks.
Boasting creative collaborations from the likes of Meghan Trainor and Electric, folk can listen to official snippets after the jump…

Stepping out in silver style last night was Solange.
How she spent her Monday night? Partying with Kelly Rowland, Justine Skye and ‘Spiderman: Homecoming’ actress Zendaya at the 13th Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Awards in New York City.
Still riding high from her performance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ (which received mix reviews) the ‘Table‘-building vocalist also rubbed shoulders with Alexander Wang and Michael Kors.
Snaps below…
Solange has been receiving rave reviews for her new album ‘A Seat At The Table,’ yet her journey to emancipation started five years ago.
This week’s From The Vault journeys back to 2008, a time when the rising star released her first single in 5 years.
Today’s pick is retro number ‘I Decided’.
Serviced as the first single from Solo’s sophomore set ‘Sol-Angel And The Hadley St. Dreams,’ the track was produced by the mighty Neptunes and sampled the iconic handclaps from The Supremes’ ‘Where Did Our Love Go.’
In the US, the cut performed moderately well on the Billboard Hot Hip-Hop/R&B peaking at #44.
For its European incarnation, the throwback cut received a sonic facelift by British DJs The Freemasons which allowed it to access the UK and France’s Top 30 as well as Ireland’s Top 50.
***************
Acclaimed director and family friend Melina Matsoukas directed the cut’s video which retraced different eras in Pop culture. Travelling through time, the talented songbird can be seen as part of a Supremes-like ensemble performing during the Civil Right Movement era, as a Disco queen on Soul Train, an 80’s popstar in the MTV generation, and finally romancing a love interest in the future.
With its vivid vibrancy and use of pop art, the visual shared similarities with Rihanna’s ‘Rude Boy’ which was released a year later and was also directed by Matsoukas.
***************
We’ve long been rooting for Ms. Knowles – ever since ‘Hadley St. Dreams’ days. As such, we couldn’t be more amped about seeing her finally getting the recognition she deserves. What’s interesting with ‘A Seat At The Table’ is that its material isn’t far removed from what Solange has been servicing already for years.
Hopefully, the buzz surrounding the project won’t be temporary and will only allow Knowles to expand the conversation with her newly recruited supporters.
In there here and now, though, congrats to Solange for breaking through. At long last.
After a series of delays, Alicia Keys finally unleashed her sixth album ‘HERE’ yesterday.
It’s been a rocky road for the former chart-force. Indeed, despite routinely rocking the album tally with previous efforts, recent times have seen her struggle to jump start this campaign.
“Lead” single ‘In Common’ failed to chart on the Hot 100 earlier this year and a proper follow-up has yet to materialise; the latter being surprising given that the song has been relegated to an international bonus track on ‘HERE.’
Still, on the merit of her name, Keys has remained in the spotlight – appearing as a coach on ‘The Voice’ and booking a number of promotional spots.
How has all of this impacted the performance of the LP?

It’s a family affair for John Legend in the video for new single ‘Love Me Now.’
