The awards are presented to the artists and songs that enjoyed the highest number of plays in the service between December 1, 2005 and November 30, 2006.

Jack Johnson, Napster's most played artist, was not recognized by the 2006 Billboard Music Awards which track sales and radio airplay and "Dance, Dance," Napster's most played song, was not among the top 10 tracks sold on iTunes in 2006.
