Zach Bryan has officially taken home Top New Artist at this years Billboard Music Awards.
Up against Jelly Roll, Bailey Zimmerman, Ice Spice & Peso Pluma, Zach’s popularity reaches far beyond country music fans and his astonishing streaming numbers speak for themselves.
Zach, who is a first-year nominee, was nominated for a whopping 14 total BBM Awards and at this very moment, has won four.
On top of winning Best New Artist, Bryan also won Top Rock Artist. His other two wins come from the same category:
- Top Rock Song – Something In The Orange
- Top Rock Album – American Heartbreak
Last week, Jelly Roll took home the CMA Award for New Artist of the Year. Although he gave an incredible speech, even referring to Zach as one of the hottest things in Country music, many fans thought the award should’ve gone home with the Oklahoma Smokeshow singer instead.
Well now, for those fans at least, the award found its rightful owner this time around.
BBMA winners are determined by year-end chart performance metrics, rather than being voted on by an academy or fans. Eligibility dates for this year’s awards ran from November 19th, 2022, through Oct. 21st, 2023.
