The O2 is Billboard's Top Arena

The O2 has beaten Madison Square Garden to be the Top Arena in the World at the recent Billboard Awards. The awards honor the music industry's top artists, professionals, and venues based on the Billboard Boxscores chart.

It's the first time The O2 has won this award in its history, taking the accolade from Madison Square Garden which has won for the past five years.

The award follows a great month for the London venue with it being crowned the world's most popular arena just a fortnight ago by Pollstar which showed The O2 had sold nearly 1,600,000 tickets so far this year. David Campbell, Chief Executive and President of AEG Europe, dedicated the award to 'This Is It' "and the many people who would have made the King of Pop's show the best live show ever... God bless you Michael."

You can see the Official Michael Jackson exhibition at The O2. Find out more...
