Highly accomplished women will both present and receive honors at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards, which are set for Wednesday (March 6) at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., just outside Los Angeles. The show is sold out, but fans can watch a stream of the show on Thursday, March 7, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on billboardwomeninmusic.com.
Three of this year’s honorees won Grammys at the 66th annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 4. Karol G, who is Billboard’s Woman of the Year, won the Grammy for best música urbana album for Mañana Será Bonito. Victoria Monét, who is Billboard’s rising star award honoree, won three Grammys: best new artist and two awards for Jaguar II – best R&B album and best engineered album, non-classical. Kylie Minogue, who is this year’s Icon Award winner, won the Grammy for best pop dance recording for “Padam Padam.”
Two of the presenters on the show also won their first Grammys last month. Coco Jones won best R&B performance for “ICU.” Lainey Wilson won best country album for Bell Bottom Country. Wilson has scooped up seven CMA Awards in just two years.
Another of this year’s honorees, Tems, was nominated for an Oscar last year for co-writing “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Two of this year’s honorees topped the Billboard 200 for the first time in 2023. Karol G hit the top spot in March with Mañana Será Bonito. NewJeans followed suit in August with Get Up. Charli XCX and Ice Spice both had tracks on Barbie: The Album, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 – in addition to soundtracking the Greta Gerwig film that became the biggest box-office hit of 2023.
Tracee Ellis Ross, who received six Primetime Emmy nominations as an actress and producer of the long-running sitcom blackish, is set to host the show.
The honorees for the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards demonstrate the degree to which music has become a global enterprise. There are honorees from Colombia (Karol G), Australia (Kylie Minogue), England (Charli XCX and PinkPantheress), South Korea (NewJeans), Nigeria (Tems), Brazil (Luisa Sonza), the Phillippines (Sarah Geronimo), Italy (Annalisa), Puerto Rico (Young Miko) as well as the continental U.S. (Maren Morris, Ice Spice and Victoria Monét).
