2023 Soul Train Awards: The Complete Winners List

The most soulful night of the year has arrived! The 2023 BET Soul Train Awards aired on Sunday night, and this year’s ceremony was a reimagined event that gave stars and audiences an intimate and unforgettable Hollywood party, celebrating the best in soul music and the iconic legacy brand.

Hosted by Emmy Award-winning actress, musical artist, producer, and entrepreneur Keke Palmer, the award show included a remarkable lineup of performances from the biggest stars in Black culture and entertainment. BJ The Chicago Kid, Danté Bowe, Fridayy, Muni Long and Coco Jones — with special guest SWV — took the stage for performances throughout the night, and remained true to the annual extravaganza’s commitment to highlighting the impact of Soul Train on music and dance from the 1970s to the present day. 

Sunday’s show featured Usher, SZA and Summer Walker leading the pack of nominees with nine nods apiece, marking a historic three-way tie. 21 Savage trailed close behind with eight nominations, followed by Coco Jones and Victoria Monét with six nominations each, and Burna Boy, Chris Brown, Janelle Monáe and October London, with four.  

SZA came out on top, taking home four big wins, including Best R&B/Soul Female Artist, Album of the Year and Song of the Year. But she wasn’t the only victorious one! Check out the full list of winners below in bold.
