Edit of Information
I deleted the Best concept and experimental video awards for the Sun Always Shines ON TV at the MTV awards, as these awards were given to Take On Me, not The Sun Always Shines On TV.

a-ha did not win Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group award at MTV. I deleted this info.

The award Best new artist is mentioned twice. I deleted one of the entries.
