| Mary J Blige Wins Big At Billboard Awards |
|
 This year's top contender was Mary J. Blige (Geffen), who walked away with nine awards in total. The 35-year-old singer nabbed a number of R&B/hip-hop honors, including album (The Breakthrough) and song ("Be Without You") of the year, as well as Hot 100 airplay song of the year. Her greatest hits album Reflections was released this week."I've never received this many awards at any time in my career, ever," Blige said backstage. "I remember a time when all my fans were crying and sad and going through hell. Now, we're trying to uplift each other and accept ourselves for who we are, even if nobody else does."
