MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lady Gaga is the only artist to win this award in two consecutive years: "Bad Romance" won in 2010 and "Born This Way" in 2011

The MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song is the main award of the MTV Europe Music Awards. It was first awarded in 1994, when "7 Seconds" won it, and has been given out every year since. The category was renamed Most Addictive Track for the 2007 and 2008 shows. The artists with the most nominations in this category are Ariana Grande and Beyoncé (both with five). Beyoncé, Jungkook, Lady Gaga and Pink have won the award twice (one of Pink's wins coming when it was called Most Addictive Track).
