Michael Jackson wins four American Music Awards after his death in July.
The late Michael Jackson has won four prizes at the recent American Music Awards.
In scooping the honours, the king of pop has become the most honoured artist in the award's history by taking home a total of 23 gongs, according to the BBC.
Jackson was named the best pop/rock male performer and best soul/R&B male artist on November 22nd at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
Furthermore, Number Ones, his greatest hits compilation, took the best album award in both the pop/rock and the soul/R&B categories.
However, Jackson missed out on the coveted artist of the year prize, which was awarded to country star Taylor Swift.
The 19-year-old commented: "To even be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson, who we will miss and love forever, is an unimaginable honour."
Earlier this month, Tinariwen, a group of Touareg musicians from northern Mali, won the 2009 Uncut Music Award for the most inspirational and rewarding album of the year, seeing off competition from Kings of Leon, Bob Dylan, Wilco and Animal Collective.
