MTV viewers picked the winners for most categories since 2001. Unlike in the MTV Video Music Awards, the most important category at the MTV Video Music Brazil was the Viewer's Choice, not the Video of the Year; both of these categories merged in 2005. In 2007, the awards have faced a major rebranding, with several categories extinguished (most notably the specific genre divisions) and even the trophies' design changed. From that year, the awards began to focus more on artists rather than music videos and the most important category became the Artist of the Year.

In 2014, the second Brazilian version of MTV considered reviving the awards, but the plans were eventually discontinued ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
