The Weeknd won big on Sunday during the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, taking home eight. The "Can't Feel My Face" singer lost out on the big award, Top Artist, to Adele.

Adele could not be there to accept her awards, as she is on tour. She did, though, premiere her new music video for her song "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" during the awards show. It proved to be one of the most talked-about performances in a night that also included a tribute to Prince by Madonna and a medley of Britney Spears' biggest hits.

The awards are determined by fan interactions with the music, such as sales and social media engagement, according to ABC News.

Here is the full list of winners.
