Each having 6 nominations, Christian Bautista, Martin Nievera and SpongeCola all managed to win 2 awards.
Also winning two awards were Erik Santos (out of 5 nods), The Company (with 4 nods) and Noel Cabangon (out of 3 nominations).
Meanwhile, Sarah Geronimo won as Female Concert Performer of the Year. It's now her 4th consecutive year to win an award from PMPC Star Awards for Music.
During its maiden year (2009), Sarah was Female Pop Artist of the Year. Then she was named Female Recording Artist of the Year consecutively in 2010 and 2011.
If I'm not mistaken, Sarah is so far the only recording artist to have won year after year in the 4-year-old PMPC Star Awards for Music.
