iHeartRadio Music Awards 2017: Winners
While the film award season is drawing to a close, the music award season has just started with the annual iHeartRadio Music Awards being held last night.
The iHeartRadio Music Awards are different from other music award shows, as they have a distinctive focus on internet-based music.
They also honour artists and personalities that have done some pretty interesting things on various social media platforms, including Snapchat, YouTube and musical.ly.
Some of the biggest winners of the night included alternative two-piece, twenty one pilots, and dance-duo, The Chainsmokers.
