What was the song of the summer? Not Ordinary,' according to the VMAs
"Alex Warren grabbed new-artist honors, but his ballad Ordinary which Billboard has declared the song of the summer lost in that category to Tate McRae's Just Keep Watching, the much more lively theme to the movie F1. Ordinary was a remarkable somber summer chart topper the title bestowed by Billboard since 2010 generally goes to a high-energy banger (I Had Some Help, Despacito, Old Town Road, Call Me Maybe, et al.)."
"In the artist of the year category, if either Taylor Swift or Beyonce had won, it would have broken their tie of 30 VMA wins each. Lady Gaga's win leaves them sharing the top spot on the historical list. Following are the nominees, with the winner in bold. VIDEO OF THE YEAR Ariana Grande brighter days ahead ROSE and Bruno Mars APT."
Women dominated the MTV Video Music Awards, with multiple wins for Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter. Alex Warren won new-artist honors while his somber hit Ordinary lost song-of-the-summer to Tate McRae's upbeat Just Keep Watching, the F1 theme. Billboard named Ordinary a rare low-key summer chart topper amid a history of high-energy summer bangers. Lady Gaga's victory tied her with Taylor Swift and Beyonce at the top of the all-time VMA wins list. The ceremony featured nominees across video, song, song-of-the-summer, and album categories, with winners announced for each prize.
