Justin Bieber's recent break-up with Selena Gomez might have tongues wagging, but, following Sunday's 40th annual American Music Awards, the singer left fans talking about (gasp!) his music. The young singer won all three awards he was nominated for: Favorite Male Artist (Pop/Rock), Favorite Album (Believe), and Artist of the Year. ""It's hard growing up ... with everyone watching me,"" Bieber told the crowd while picking up the night's top honors. ""I want to say as long as you guys keep believing in me, I'll never — I'll always make you proud."" Who else picked up trophies during the ceremony? See below for the list of winners!
