Elsewhere, Jelly Roll, 21 Savage and SZA tie for eight nominations in respective categories, while Rodrigo comes behind with seven. The 12th annual award show, which celebrates the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations through 2023, will also introduce a collection of new categories spanning genres including pop artist of the year, K-pop artist of the year, best new artist (K-pop) and favorite debut album.
Many of the categories will be socially fan-voted, like with TikTok bop of the year, favorite on screen and best fan army. Social voting begins on January 18 and is set to conclude on March 25, with fans able to weigh in on iHeartRadio’s website.
“The iHeartRadio Music Awards is a night where we celebrate the biggest artists and songs fans loved listening to on the radio all year long,” says John Sykes, president of entertainment enterprises for iHeartMedia. “We’ll also share stories from the artists themselves about their hard-fought journeys to the top of the charts.”
“Our iHeartRadio Music Awards are special because they’re truly reflective of what listeners love,” adds Tom Poleman, president and chief programming officer for iHeartMedia. “We’re excited to share the journey on how they became the biggest songs and celebrate these amazing artists with music fans across the nation together live from Los Angeles.”
