The 40th MTV Video Music Awards celebrated today’s biggest stars and songs, as well as iconic moments from its own history. Here are some of the night's best moments and biggest winners.

All summer, a wide range of hits were in the running for the biggest songs of the season — country singalongs, rap diss tracks, pop kiss-offs and rock epics. But two took the race down to the wire.

It's still summer, but signs indicate that the season of Taylor Swift's album chart dominance may be coming to an end. This week's harbinger: a certain face-tattooed rapper-turned-country star.

If you’re one of those people who think there can only be one “song of the summer,” and that the Hot 100 provides a clear-cut metric for determining a winner, then this year’s race is a statistical dead heat.

The duet-packed F-1 Trillion marks a new chapter, but it's no wild swerve — the one-time SoundCloud rapper has had his eye on Nashville for years.

After briefly ceding to Sabrina Carpenter, “I Had Some Help" is back on top of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department is still No. 1 over on the Billboard 200 albums chart — she’s holding strong at ten weeks.

The pop star caught the top spot while her other single, “Espresso,” is still holding strong at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile: yes, Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department is still No. 1 over on the Billboard 200 albums chart — we’re at week nine and counting.

One song has ruled the pop chart for over a month. One album has topped the album chart for two months. But there are signs this week that both could face serious challengers soon.

For a sixth straight week, Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department rules the Billboard 200. The songs chart also features a returning champion: Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen.

For the fifth week in a row, Swift's The Tortured Poets Department was the best-selling album in the country. Post Malone and Wallen's "I Had Some Help" repeated as the top song.
