Billboard Music Awards 2025: Best prediction scores by our editors and users

Congratulations to Gold Derby user Kai for an almost perfect score of 94.12% when predicting the 2025 Billboard Music Awards winners on Thursday night. The top scorer is just ahead of three people who tied at 88.24% and has a great point score of 66,925 by using the two Super Bets (500 points each) wisely.

Over 450 fans worldwide predicted these music champs with our top scorer getting 16 out of 17 categories correct. On a night dominated by Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen, our top scorer’s only miss was for Top Soundtrack (choosing “Twisters” over winner “Trolls Band Together”).
