The two singers have more in common than their hit single.

Usher and Alicia Keys have something to celebrate besides the success of their collaboration on the single My Boo. The singers took home a cumulative 18 trophies from this week's Billboard awards, which were held at the glamorous MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The night was filled with the biggest and brightest in popular music, including performances by Usher, Keys, rock bands Green Day and Evanescence, pop singer Gwen Stefani and rapper Nelly.

The legendary Stevie Wonder was presented with Billboard's Lifetime Achievement Award (also known as the Century Award). Beauties Diana Ross, Mary J. Blige and Destiny's Child serenaded Wonder with a medley of his songs.

The night's other winners included: Big Boi of OutKast, (Duo/Group Of The Year), Britney Spears (Hot Dance Sales Single Of The Year for Me Against the Music) and Kanye West (who took home four awards, including the coveted Hip-Hop Artist Of The Year).
