Who won Top Duo/Group at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards?

The story behind the answer

Who won Top Duo/Group at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards? The answer is Black Eyed Peas.

The Black Eyed Peas won the Top Duo/Group award at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, held on May 22 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Their victory reflected the group’s powerful chart run around albums such as The E.N.D. and The Beginning, plus hit singles including “Boom Boom Pow,” “I Gotta Feeling,” and “The Time (Dirty Bit).”

The group’s 2011 success came during a period when Billboard awards emphasized measurable performance across charts, sales, radio activity, streaming, and social engagement. That makes the category different from a purely fan-voted popularity award: commercial performance over the eligibility period was central to the result.

The nominees also included Bon Jovi, Lady Antebellum, Linkin Park, and U2. A frequent confusion is mixing this award with later ceremonies, when acts such as LMFAO, One Direction, Maroon 5, or BTS won related group categories. The 2011 winner was specifically the Black Eyed Peas.
