Expected to enjoy a clean sweep, Michael Jackson only ended up with four awards. Jackson finally lost to Swift in the artist of the year race, the ceremony’s final prize.

Swift, 19, was also named favorite female artist in the pop/rock and country categories, and favorite adult-contemporary artist.

Her 2008 album “Fearless,” the best-selling release in the United States this year, was named favorite country album.

She accepted her awards live via satellite from backstage at London’s Wembley Arena, where she will perform a concert on Monday. She said it was an “unimaginable honor” to be cited in the same category as Jackson, and thanked the Jackson family.

Jackson was named favorite male artist in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories, while his 2003 hits collection “Number Ones” was named favorite album in both those categories. The album is the No. 2 seller this year in the United States.

Jackson’s brother Jermaine, accompanied by sons Jeremy, Jaafar and Jermajesty, accepted on his behalf.

Other multiple winners included hip-hop acts Jay-Z and the Black Eyed Peas, with two each.
