Chris Brown and Rihanna are celebrating a major MTV Video Music Awards victory - two days before the 2012 prizegiving goes live in Los Angeles.
MTV bosses announced the winners of the Hottest Debut Performance on Tuesday - and the former couple came out on top.
Nominees were selected from the last five years of VMAs - and Brown and Rihanna's 2007 medley beat out Lady Gaga's appearance in 2010, when she performed a blood-soaked rendition of Paparazzi.
Justin Bieber comes in third with his U Smile performance, also from 2010's ceremony.
Rihanna will perform at the VMAs again on Thursday night alongside A$AP Rocky.
Nicki Minaj will also grace the stage with a secret guest and 2 Chainz will make his VMA debut.
Rapper Lil Wayne will perform, as will One Direction, Taylor Swift, Pink, Green Day and Frank Ocean.
