Music Times is happy to present the 2016 MT Buzz Awards, where we celebrate the best music has given us over the past year. We look at more traditional awards such as Best New Artist or Best Live Act but also some left-field categories you won't find on your traditional award shows such as Best Music Meme or Most Surprising Collaboration.

Last Friday, Dec. 23, we unveiled the nominees with names such as Beyoncé, Chance the Rapper, Atlanta, A Tribe Called Quest and Anderson .Paak all leading the pack. Today we announce the winners.
