And the winners of the 2017 APMAs are...

The day has finally come: the day of the 2017 APMAs. With performances from Waterparks and Pierce The Veil to Black Veil Brides and All Time Low (AND SO MUCH MORE!), it’s a night we won’t soon forget. Even better: We have some of the biggest names in music battling it out for the titles of Artist Of The Year, Album Of The Year and — most importantly — Most Dedicated Fans. Why? Because these bands and musicians wouldn't have won if it weren't for all of you who voted.
