The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards was held on August 30, 2015. The 32nd installment of the event was held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, and hosted by Miley Cyrus. Taylor Swift led the nominations with a total of ten, followed by Ed Sheeran, who had six, bringing his total number of mentions to 13. Swift's "Wildest Dreams" music video premiered during the pre-show. Cyrus also announced and released her studio album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, right after her performance at the end of the show. During his acceptance speech, Kanye West announced that he would be running for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. Taylor Swift won the most awards with four, including Video of the Year and Best Female Video. The VMA trophies were redesigned by Jeremy Scott. Due to a simulcast across ten Viacom networks, the 2015 ceremony's airing on the flagship MTV network alone had the lowest audience in the ceremony's 31-year history. According to Nielsen, it logged 5.03 million viewers only on MTV, 39% less than last year, while cumulative viewers drew 9.8 million with the nine other simulcasting networks. The lowest viewed one was in 1996, since Nielsen began tracking in 1994, with 5.07 million viewers. However, the show broke the "US Twitter record", being the most tweeted about non-sports program, with 21.4 million tweets delivered by 2.2 million people. It was also streamed live through the MTV app for authenticated users on mobile devices and television sets via iOS, Android and Chromecast. Through its website, viewers could also get to see un-aired audience shots and backstage coverage. mtvU aired a behind-the-scenes feed and MTV Hits went dark.

Jay-Z Live at Hackney (2012)
Music
Discover the UK's biggest free ticketed music event – this year on a massive scale to celebrate 2012.
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is super sizing this year! The festival always attracts big UK and worldwide artists, so if you want to see the new names who'll dominate the next 12 months this is the place to be. There will be live music across six stages and you will be able to keep up to date with all the weekend's festivities on Radio 1, BBC Three on TV, on the Red Button and live here on the Hackney Weekend website.
Across the Main Stage, Dance Arena, 1Xtra Stage, In New Music We Trust Stage, DJ Stage and BBC Introducing Stage there is a huge line-up of UK and international artists – from household names, to brand new artists championed by Radio 1 DJs. You'll be able to watch every single stage right here on bbc.co.uk, hear it on the radio, and join BBC Three and the Red Button for the best bits too.
Hackney Weekend has grown out of Radio 1's Big Weekend, and One Big Sundays before them. Held under Europe's biggest tent Big Weekend has been all over the UK. But as 2012 is a very special Olympic year, it felt right to celebrate in East London with an even bigger party. Nothing we've done so far as been as huge as the festival due to happen in Hackney this summer. It's time to get excited.
It's all happening at Hackney Marshes, East London, on Saturday 23rd June and Sunday 24th June. And you can watch it all live right here on bbc.co.uk, on BBC Three, on Red Button, and of course listen on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra.
