Which artist has the most wins for Top Male Artist?

Drake has the most wins for Top Male Artist, with three Billboard Music Awards in the category. He won in 2017, 2019 and 2022, making him the category’s only artist to reach three victories.

The award measures an artist’s performance across Billboard’s tracking period, drawing on factors such as sales, streaming, radio airplay and chart results. It is therefore different from an award based on a single song or album. Drake’s wins reflect repeated success across several eras of his career rather than one isolated release.

Justin Bieber is next with two victories, earned in 2013 and 2016. Morgan Wallen also has two wins, in 2023 and 2024. The category has not been presented every year: the Billboard Music Awards were not held from 2007 through 2010, and some categories were absent or renamed during periods of format change.

Drake’s record here is separate from his broader Billboard achievements. He has also been a frequent finalist in the category and ranks among the overall leaders in total Billboard Music Awards. Post Malone, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber are plausible distractors, but only Bieber has multiple wins behind Drake.
