Mary J. Blige was the top award winner at this year’s Billboard Music Awards as her chart-topping comeback album The Breakthrough landed the R&B diva a leading nine honors.

Among the awards the 35-year-old singer claimed Monday night were R&B/Hip-Hop artist of the year, female R&B artist of the year and R&B/Hip-Hop album of the year.

“The Breakthrough” shot to No. 1 after it debuted on the Billboard charts in December 2005 and has sold 2.6 million copies since.

The 18-year-old Rihanna from Barbados edged out Blige and Beyonce for the top songstress honor (whoa damn she beat Mary and B what were they thinking).”I really can’t feel my legs, this is phenomenal,” said Rihanna as she accepted the award for best female artist of the year award. “That was a really tough category.”

Chris Brown won new artist of the year, male artist of the year and artist of the year awards.” I’m 17. That’s crazy, it’s mind-boggling,” said Brown. “My mom, she still keeps me humble. She tells me to take out the trash, ya know, clean my room.”
