Carly Rae Jepsen Knocks Gotye From Number One In America

Gotye has taken home four awards at the Billboard Music Awards held tonight in Los Angeles.

“Thanks for coming. Next time bring a few friends,” greeted Midge Ure from the compact stage at the intimate Billboard venue Friday night, as he began his first Melbourne show since 1985 with ‘I See Hope (In The Morning Light)’.

Billboard has published their take on the top 50 love songs of the last 55 years, but with a twist.

Billboard have announced today that music legend Prince will be honoured at their music awards this year, receiving the Billboard Icon Award and performing at the ceremony.

As we come to the end of 2012, it's time to look back at the biggest records and artists of the year and the authority on all such things is Billboard.

Gotye has become the first Australian artist in thirty years to land the No.1 song of the year on the US Billboard charts.

For many artists, it may be one of the most frustrating times of their career.
