Chris Brown has plenty to sing about.
Brown wins the top honor at the American Music Awards.
He was pretty much at a loss for words after winning Artist of the Year.
He also won male artist honors in the pop-rock and r-and-b-soul categories.
Kanye West had no reason to complain this time, he's a double winner.
Four years ago, West suffered a meltdown when he was beaten in the best new artist category.
This year, the Breakthrough Artist Award goes to the Jonas Brothers.
Other double winners at Sunday night's ceremony in Los Angeles include Rihanna and Alicia Keys.
Country winners include Brad Paisley for favorite country artist, Taylor Swift for favorite female country act, and Rascal Flatts for favorite country favorite band, duo or group.
