Akon won his first American Music Award last night for Best Male Soul/R&B artist, beating out hyphenated hitmakers Ne-Yo and T-Pain. The Senegalese star’s first major U.S. award victory comes on the heels of his three big wins at the World Music Awards two weeks ago when he pulled down a trio of prestigious trophies including Best Selling R&B star in the world, topping superstar artists such as Beyonce, Timbaland, Rihanna and others.


Akon’s 5 million selling album Konvicted continues to set new records across the globe, yielding the #1 hits “I Wanna Love You,” and “Don’t Matter,” and the #2 Grammy nominated “Smack That” featuring Eminem. Akon also became one of three artist in music history to simultaneously lockdown the #1 and #2 positions on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. Akon became the top selling mastertone artist of all time this summer, achieving a phenomenal 11 million in total mastertone sales, the most of any other artist since the inception of mastertones.


Akon’s mastertone hits include songs from his 1.4 million selling 2005 debut album Trouble. His top-selling ringtone offerings from Konvicted “Smack That” (certified by RIAA triple platinum), “Don’t Matter” (double platinum), and “I Wanna Love You” (double platinum), make him the only artist with three tracks from the same album to ever achieve multi-platinum ringtone status. The star’s “Smack That” was the top selling mastertone of 2006 (Nielsen Mobile), reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs Chart, and making Akon the biggest ringtone seller ever via the nation’s largest mobile carrier, AT&T.


Check out Akon as he will perform on Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years Eve Special.
