Check out these photos of Shontelle arriving at Logo’s 3rd annual ‘NewNowNext Awards’ held at The Edison on June 8, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. She was a headliner of the show, performing her hit single “IMPOSSIBLE“. The 2010 NewNowNextAwards will air June 17th.

Shontelle couldn’t attend this year’s annual Barbados Music Awards due to her heavy schedule, but she did win two awards which her father and mother (who looked fab!) came up on stage to gave a very warm acceptance speech on her behalf.

She won “Album of the Year” and a special “BMA Platinum Award” for now being Barbados’ 2nd best selling female of all time, since her debut album “Shontelligence” was certified platinum.

Another highlight of Sunday night’s annual Barbados Music Awards will be bringing it on home to the delightful Shontelle Layne, who in just one year after releasing her debut album ‘Shontelligence’, is already reaping the successes with RIAA Platinum Certification (for sales of 1 million units in the USA) for her lead single ‘T-Shirt’. As such, it is only fitting that she be awarded for this feat and the BMA organisers are doing just that.

Shontelle will be awarded the BMA Platinum Award at this the 5th anniversary gala, for outstanding record sales during the period of October 2008-September 2009. This will be a special award added to her already multiple BMAs for the veteran of this particular stage, having performed for three consecutive years at the show.

She has also reaped success with her follow-up singles ‘Battle Cry’ and ‘Stuck With Each Other’ featuring R&B star Akon. She is now ranked as Barbados’ second best-selling female of all time! Check out Shontelle’s nominations below:

Shontelle won in the category Song of the Year which was one of the three categories she was nominated for at the 2009 BMA’s. In the two other categories she lost to Rihanna, but she better watch her back because Shontelle’s coming up next!
