This year’s edition of the annual MYX Awards concluded with high-profile wins for international acts BTS and Olivia Rodrigo, as well as Filipino acts such as SB19, Ben&Ben, and more.
The MYX Awards 2021 took place on Saturday (August 7), and its winners were decided by fan votes (60 per cent) and artists’ polls (40 per cent). This year’s International Video Of The Year was awarded to K-pop titans BTS for ‘Dynamite’, while Olivia Rodrigo was given the Global Achievement Award.
P-pop group SB19 walked away as the biggest winner of the night, winning the trophies for Artist Of The Year, and Song and Music Video Of The Year for ‘Alab’. They were also awarded the Kumu Audience Choice Award.
Indie folk-pop outfit Ben&Ben meanwhile clinched two awards: Mellow Video Of The Year for ‘Sa Susunod na Haban Buhay’ and Collaboration Of The Year for ‘Paalam’ with Moira Dela Torre.
On the other hand, rising rapper-singer Matthaios – who released his debut EP last Friday (August 6) – claimed the New Artist Of The Year award, while the MYX Magma Award was awarded to iconic folk-rock band Asin. Nadine Lustre was also given the Special Achievement Award for her ‘Wildest Dreams’ visual album.
