Competing against America’s Got Talent, American Ninja Warrior, Dancing with the Stars and MasterChef, The Voice won for favorite competition TV show.

The Voice also won in 2014 and 2015 and the victory marked the seventh straight time a singing show has takent the honor. American Idol won every year between 2010 and 2012 and The X Factor won in 2013.

Fittingly, one of the guest performers on Wednesday’s show was Jordan Smith, The Voice’s most recent winner. He performed “You Are So Beautiful.”

Speaking of The X Factor, Fifth Harmony took honors for favorite music group at Wednesday’s awards ceremony, which is pretty impressive considering the other nominees were One Direction, Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons and Fall Out Boy.

Other winners with singing show connections:

Carrie Underwood won favorite female country artist over Cassadee Pope, Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert and Reba McEntire.

Blake Shelton won favorite male country artist over Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban and Luke Bryan.

Nicki Minaj won favorite hip-hop artist over Big Sean, Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Wiz Khalifa.

Steven Tyler was nominated in the category of favorite music icon, but the award went to Madonna. And Kelly Clarkson and Demi Lovato were nominated as favorite pop artist; that win went to Taylor Swift.
