Congrats to the Big 4; but more specifically congrats to f(x) and 2PM whose' wins totaled 17.
Just because I was curious, I did the calculation and that's about 16% (rounded up) of the total awards presented.
Artists under the ‘Big 4′ agencies (YG, SM, JYP, and Cube Entertainment) have dominated music program wins this year, taking home around 74% of the winner’s trophies!
From the first week of January 2011 to the second week of September, a total of 108 trophies have been given out by the three music programs that declare winners – ‘Music Bank‘, ‘Inkigayo‘, and ‘M! Countdown‘.
Out of those 108 trophies, 80 of them went to artists under the ‘Big 4′. Starting with SM Entertainment, TVXQ won 9 times, f(x) won 10 times, and Super Junior won 11 times, totaling to 30 trophies.
