Swift & Kanye Crowned Queen And King Of Billboard’s 2009

The top Male and Female Artist of the Year acollades have been awarded to 'best buds' Taylor Swift and Kanye West by Billboard magazine.

Ironically, West stormed the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in September to protest Swift's Best Female Video win over Beyonce - and Swift has beaten the Single Ladies singer again on Billboard's end of year hit list.

She also beat Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, who came in third, fourth and fifth respectively.

Rapper West beat T.I., Flo Rida, Jason Mraz and Ne-Yo to claim the top spot for the guys.

Swift was also named Billboard Artist of The Year, beating out Beyonce, Lady GaGa and the Black Eyed Peas.
