The show, which was hosted by Ludacris, and Chrissy Teigen, also featured a ton of big debut performances, like Iggy Azalea and Britney Spears' new collaboration "Pretty Girls," and Meghan Trainor and John Legend's soulful "Like I'm Gonna Lose You."

Mariah Carey also returned for her first Billboard Awards performance in 17 years with a medley of "Vision of Love" and her new single "Infinity."
