Written by . Published: December 10 2015
Superstar Taylor Swift has been named Billboard magazine's Top Artist of 2015.
Editors at the publication picked the artist because of her mega-successful tour, hit singles and her 1989 album, which also earned the Album of the Year title.
This is the second time Swift has been honored by the magazine - in
2009, she was named Top Artist following the success of her second
album, Fearless. Adele remains the only female artist to claim the
title two years in a row for 2011 and 2012.
In addition to Swift's honor, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' Uptown
Funk was named Top Song and Fetty Wap the Top New Artist.
