The Spice Girls and their reunion tour also won, taking home the Top Boxscore award for their 17-night, sold out concerts at London's O2 arena.

Kenny Chesney won two awards. One for Eventful Fans' Choice and, for the fourth year in a row, Top Tour Package for his recent "Poets & Pirates Tour."

Top Breakthrough Artist went to Miley Cyrus and her sold-out "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds Tour." Comedian Katt Williams won Top Comedy Tour.

Online voters also had a say in who won. They chose the Jonas Brothers and their "Burning Up Tour" for Concert Marketing & Promotion Award. The Burger King-sponsored tour won with more than 100,000 votes.
