The same single also won best female R&B performance and best R&B song. Her multiplatinum selling abum “I Am… Sasha Fierce” was as well named best contemporary R&B album while her single “At Last” won best traditional R&B.

Running behind is Taylor Swift, who won four awards, including best country song and best female country vocal for “White Horse,” best country album and album of the year for “Fearless.”

Other big winners at the night’s awards show include pop group Black Eyed Peas, who took home three trophies including best pop album for “The E.N.D.” and Maxwell, who tagged two trophies under his name for best R&B album and best male R&B vocal for “Blacksummers’ Night” and “Pretty Wings,” respectively.
