Billboard shared the lineup of artists, who hail across a wide-range of musical genres, to be honored at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards. Hosted by actress Tracee Ellis Ross, the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards ‘celebrates female talent shaping the music landscape.’ This year’s event will recognize Kylie Minogue, Maren Morris, Ice Spice, Charli XCX, Young Miko, Victoria Monét, NewJeans, TEMS and Luísa Sonza. The nine artists will be honored at a ceremony held at Los Angeles’ YouTube Theater on March 6.
Minogue, 55, will receive the coveted icon award; the Australian superstar released her 16th studio album Tension last year, featuring the global hit “Padam Padam.” Morris, 33, will be celebrated with the visionary award; the artist is committed to speaking out against injustices throughout her career, and released her EP The Bridge last year.
Ice Spice, 24, is being honored with the hitmaker award; the rapper had five songs throughout 2023 within the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100, including her collaboration with Taylor Swift (on her “Karma” remix) and her collabs with Nicki Minaj on “Barbie World” and “Princess Diana.” Charli XCX, 31, will receive the powerhouse award, in honor of the innovations she’s made to the pop genre. The British pop star returned to the Hot 100 in 2023 with “Speed Drive,” her song of Barbie: The Album.
Billboard’s editorial director Hannah Karp shared in a press release: “We could not be more excited to celebrate these inspiring and dynamic artists from around the world, as they move our culture forward and inspire women everywhere to push boundaries and pursue their own dreams. With the talented Tracee Ellis Ross as our host, this year’s Billboard Women in Music Awards will be an unforgettable evening.”
