Thug Life Army

Usher and Alicia Keys dominated the Soul Train Awards, with each winning two individual awards and sharing the prize for best R&B-soul single by a group or duo.

R&B’s Usher picked up the award for best male R&B-soul single for "Confessions Part II," as well as the prize for best R&B-soul album by a male artist for "Confessions."

Alicia Keys got a nod for the best female R&B-soul single for her hit "If I Ain''t Got You" and was honored for best female R&B-soul album for "The Diary of Alicia Keys."

The two singers already shared a Grammy for their chart-topping duet "My Boo." Keys won four Grammys last month, while Usher had three.

The awards, named after the long-running television show, honor recording artists in R&B, hip-hop, rap and gospel music. The awards are chosen by a group of radio station professionals, talent managers and performers.

The ceremony was held at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.

Usher also earned an award for best R&B-soul or rap music video for his work with rap artists Ludacris & Lil Jon in the song "Yeah!"

Other artists picking up awards were Destiny's Child, for "Destiny Fulfilled," and the sexy newcomer Ciara, who won for best R&B-soul or rap new artist for her album "Goodies."
