I also chose Rihanna because Rihanna's Twitter amuses me.
Top Streaming Artist
Lil' Wayne

Top Digital Media Artist
Adele
Justin Bieber
Lady Gaga
Lil' Wayne

"Clear As Day" Scott McCreery

Skillet
Laura Story
Chris Tomlin
I chose MercyMe because they are the only people I've heard of.
Top Pop Album
"19" Adele
"21" Adele
"Christmas" Michael Buble
"Born This Way" Lady Gaga
"Under the Mistletoe" Justin Bieber
I almost chose Adele's "21" (how the heck did "19" get into the 2012 category?), but I really thought about a "Pop" sound and I personally think Lady Gaga's album fit the pop sound best. "21" was my second choice.
Top R&B Album
"4" Beyonce
"My Life II...The Journey Continues (Act 1)" Mary J. Blige
"F.A.M.E." Chris Brown
"I Remember Me" Jennifer Hudson
"Talk That Talk" Rihanna
*sigh* Billboard has made it clear that they don't distinguish between "black artists" and "R&B artists". I made Jennifer Hudson my first choice because she is in fact an R&B artist. I almost made Mary J. Blige my first choice but the length of that album title just made me mad.
I made Beyonce's "4" my second choice because as I stated in my previous Billboard post, even though Beyonce is more of a pop artist, this album certainly had lots of R&B in the mix.
Top Rap Album
"Hell: The Sequel" Bad Meets Evil
"Take Care" Drake
"Watch the Throne" Jay-Z & Kanye West
"Tha Carter IV" Lil Wayne
"Sorry For Party Rocking" LMFAO
I didn't exactly jump on the "Watch the Throne" bandwagon, but I've heard most of the songs and I liked most of them, so it's my first choice.
My made Drake's album my second choice simply because I like Drake and he did have some good hits from the album as well.
Top Rock Album
"Mylo Xyloto" Coldplay
"Wasting Light" Foo Fighters
"Torches" Foster the People
"Sigh No More" Mumford and Sons

I just chose whatever. I like Coldplay and I really just liked "Pumped Up Kicks".

"Wasting Light" Foo Fighters
"Torches" Foster the People
"Sigh No More" Mumford and Sons
"Here and Now" Nickelback
I chose whatever.
Top Latin Album
"Dejarte De Amar" Camila
"Viva El Principe" Cristian Castro
"Drama Y Luz" Mana
"Prince Royce" Prince Royce
"Formula Vol. 1" Romeo Santos
Prince Royce and Romeo Santos have a lot of nominations, so I just chose them.
Top Dance Album
"Nothing but the Beat" David Guetta
"Born This Way" Lady Gaga
"The Fame" Lady Gaga
"Sorry for Party Rocking" LMFAO
"Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" Skrillex
As stated before, LMFAO ruled the club scene with their music and I'm going to assume David Guetta did the same. He's been associate with "dance" a lot.
Top Christian Album
"Come to the Well" Casting Crowns
"Until the Whole World Hears" Casting Crowns
"Awake" Skillet
"Blessings" Laura Story
"Wow Hits 2012" Various Artists

"Rolling in the Deep" Adele
"Party Rock Anthem" LMFAO
"Sexy and I Know It" LMFAO
"Moves Like Jagger" Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera

Top Streaming Song (Audio)
"Without You" David Guetta ft. Usher
"Rolling in the Deep" Adele
"How to Love" Lil Wayne
"Party Rock Anthem" LMFAO ft. Lauren Bennett & Goonrock
"Super Bass" Nicki Minaj
Once again, I have no clue what the heck this "streaming" is supposed to be, I assume it has something to do with internet play, so I chose Rolling in the Deep because it's Adele and "How to Love" just so I could actually choose Lil' Wayne for something.
Top Radio Song
"Rolling in the Deep" Adele
"Party Rock Anthem" LMFAO
"Moves Like Jagger" Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera
"Give Me Everything" Pitpull ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer
"We Found Love" Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris
Whether I'm in the car, in a restaurant, or simply walking down the street, I hear "We Found Love" so I made that my first choice. I also heard "Rolling in the Deep" a lot on the radio.
Top Streaming Song (Video)
"Someone Like You" Adele
"Party Rock Anthem" LMFAO
"Sexy and I Know It" LMFAO
"The Lazy Song" Bruno Mars
"Super Bass" Nicki Minaj
I assume this has something to do with video play on the internet. I chose Someone Like You because the video has a LOT of views. I almost made Super Bass my second choice, but I decided to choose Bruno Mars just because I haven't highlighted or underlined his name as much as I would like to. His album is great!
Top Pop Song
"Rolling in the Deep" Adele
"Party Rock Anthem" LMFAO
"Sexy and I Know It" LMFAO
"Moves Like Jagger" Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera

"Dirt Road Anthem" Jason Aldean
"Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" Luke Bryan

Top R&B Song
"She Ain't You" Chris Brown
"FK You (Forget You)" Cee Lo Green
"Down On Me" Jeremih
"Sure Thing" Miguel
"Motivation" Kelly Rowland ft. Lil' Wayne
I chose Miguel's "Sure Thing" because it truly is an R&B song. It reminds me of an early 2000s R&B song. "Motivation" was my second choice because not only did it stay on the radio 24/7, but it actually has a nice modern R&B sound. I really liked "She Ain't You" as well, I almost chose it as second.
Top Rock Song
"Rolling in the Deep" Adele
"Someone Like You" Adele
"Paradise" Coldplay
"Pumped Up Kicks" Foster the People
"Walk" Foo Fighters
Once again, I chose whatever.
Top Alternative Song
"Someone Like You" Adele
"Sail" Awolnation
"Paradise" Coldplay
"Pumped Up Kicks" Foster the People
