YOUTUBE AWARDS: BY THE NUMBERS

Winners From the 2015 YouTube Music Awards Are Revealed

50 winners were honored by YouTube in an attempt to highlight the site's biggest acts/artists. Honorees were selected based on growth in views, subscribers and engagement over the last six months on YouTube.

The 3/23 awards "event" will not be a ceremony per se; instead, there will be a site-wide takeover, with original vids associated with the awards slated for release at 10am PST.

Check the full list (in alphabetical order) below and take a peek at their snazzy compilation vid that looks back on some of the best moments in 2015 music videos.
