Lil Nas X's Old Town Road took home Song of the Year

Meanwhile, with the longest-running number one in US chart history, it's no wonder that Lil Nas X's Old Town Road won the award for Song of the Year.

Billie Eilish skipped the ceremony so wasn't there to accept her two awards - one for Best New Artist and one for Push Artist of the Year.

Her single Bad Guy knocked Lil Nas X's off the top spot.
