Recap: The 2013 YouTube Music Awards

New York’s Pier 36 played host to the inaugural YouTube Music Awards last night; an event set up to appreciate and reward the best of the web over the past 12 months.

The ceremony, sponsored by car manufacturer Kia Motors, was streamed live globally on YouTube, and also featured performances from pre-show parties from around the world, including Rio, Seoul, Moscow and of course London. Eminem, Lady Gaga and M.I.A. were amongst the performances of the evening, with the former scooping the award for Artist of the Year.

Co-hosted by actor Jason Schwartzman and performance artist/comedian Reggie Watts, the event sought to differentiate itself from other award ceremonies. With irreverence on high agenda, it was only after the show that Schwartzman declared “There were no lines and nothing scripted and we had no idea what was going to happen next,”

Rihanna’s collaboration with Eminem on new track The Monster has denied One Direction the Number One slot in the British Singles Chart, as confirmed by the Official Charts Company.

The only other artist to have achieved this acclaim were Elvis Presley and The Beatles.

The last time the pair released a single together was 2010’s Love The Way You Lie, which went on to become one of the UK’s biggest selling singles of all-time.

In other chart news, last week’s chart topper, Royals by New Zealand singer Lorde, falls one place to Number 2 today, while Fatboy Slim’s Eat Sleep Rave Repeat debuts at Number 3.
