NEW YORK (AP):

They gave us the most memorable music moment of 2009, so it's only fitting that Kanye West and Taylor Swift have been named the king and queen of the charts.

Billboard magazine named Swift the Top Female Artiste, while West was declared Top Male Artiste. But Swift trumped West overall. She was the Top Artiste of the Year, with Beyoncé coming in second and Lady Gaga third.

Swift has a sophomore CD, Fearless, that has sold more than 4.5 million copies.

West and Swift provided one of the most-talked-about episodes of the year when West hijacked her MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech.
