MTV viewers picked the winners for most categories since 2001.

In 2007, the awards have faced a major rebranding, with several categories extinguished (most notably the specific genre divisions) and even the trophies' design changed. From that year, the awards began to focus more on artists rather than music videos and the most important category became the Artist of the Year.

In 2014, the pay TV version of MTV Brazil con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
