The iHeartRadio Music Awards are one of the spring’s most anticipated award shows, and they lived up to the hype on Monday night. This year’s ceremony has given us an impressive list of winners, led by Taylor Swift and SZA, who won the song of the year award with “Kill Bill”.

History repeated itself at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards after Swift came into the night as the most-nominated artist and took six trophies home. She was named the artist of the year this time around, beating the likes of Miley Cyrus, SZA, and Olivia Rodrigo.

Swift was also chosen as the pop artist of the year and came out victorious in four more categories – best lyrics for “Is It Over Now?”, TikTok bop of the year for “Cruel Summer”, tour of the year, and favorite tour style for The Eras Tour.

SZA was right behind with four wins, and her smash hit “Kill Bill” defeated tough competition in Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” to be named the song of the year. She was also named the R&B artist of the year, in addition to winning R&B album of the year for SOS and R&B song of the year for “Snooze”.

2023 has been an epic year for SZA, and she’s getting ready to end it on a high note—as the main contender at the upcoming Grammy Awards! The R&B superstar will find herself at the forefront of the music’s biggest night after scoring nine nominations for the upcoming Grammys.

SZA secured a nod in the coveted album of the year category with SOS, but taking this award home won’t be an easy task. She faces tough competition from several formidable contenders, from Taylor Swift’s Midnights and Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts to Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation and Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd.

SZA will also be in the running for both song and record of the year with her chart-topping smash hit “Kill Bill”. Several more songs managed to break into both fields, including Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Batiste’s “Butterfly”, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”

SZA will share the limelight with Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea, who are in the running for seven awards each. They’re closely followed by Jon Batiste, Brandy Clark, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift with six nominations.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards are slated to air on CBS and Paramount+ on February 4, 2024, with the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles serving as this year’s venue.

Beyoncé and SZA gave us two of the best albums of the past year, and BET Awards voters were certainly paying attention. This ceremony returned to Los Angeles on Sunday night and gave us a dramatic tie between Beyoncé and SZA in the album of the year category.

Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Her Loss by Drake and 21 Savage, DJ Khaled’s God Did, Chris Brown’s Breezy, and GloRilla’s Anyways, Life’s Great were also in the running for this award, and BET voters had a pretty difficult choice to make. They had trouble settling for a single album of the year and decided that SZA’s SOS and Beyoncé’s Renaissance should both take the trophy home.

Both singers came out victorious in two more categories – Beyoncé took home the BET Her Award and the Viewer’s Choice Award for her hit single “Break My Soul”, while SZA was named best female R&B/pop artist, in addition to winning the video of the year award for the viral hit “Kill Bill”.

The race in the movie categories wasn’t so intense, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever easily defeated the competition to be named the best movie. The main acting awards were handed to its star Angela Bassett and the Snowfall actor Damson Idris.

SZA’s “Kill Bill” is one of the songs that 2023 will be remembered by, and it’s finally getting credit where credit is due. After eight weeks on no. 2, this viral hit finally climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the wake of the release of a new remix featuring Doja Cat.

During its most recent week on the chart, “Kill Bill” received 86.5 million radio airplay audience impressions, 28.3 million streams, and 5,000 downloads. It finally climbed to No. 1 thanks to these impressive numbers, which is quite an achievement considering it spent eight weeks at no. 2.

“Kill Bill” finally managed to surpass the previous chart-toppers Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” and Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, which both repeatedly stopped it from hitting No. 1. It was a great week for hip-hop remixes on the Billboard Hot 100 overall, with Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj’s “Princess Diana” debuting at No. 4.

“Kill Bill” also marks SZA’s very first single to hit No. 1, but Doja Cat wasn’t credited on the Billboard Hot 100 since the remix didn’t account for the majority of the song’s overall consumption. The duo previously collaborated on “Kiss Me More”, which peaked at No. 3 and won them a Grammy for the best pop duo/group performance.

History repeated itself at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards after Swift came into the night as the most-nominated artist and took six trophies home. She was named the artist of the year this time around, beating the likes of Miley Cyrus, SZA, and Olivia Rodrigo.

SZA was right behind with four wins, and her smash hit “Kill Bill” defeated tough competition in Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” to be named the song of the year. She was also named the R&B artist of the year, in addition to winning R&B album of the year for SOS and R&B song of the year for “Snooze”.

2023 has been an epic year for SZA, and she’s getting ready to end it on a high note—as the main contender at the upcoming Grammy Awards! The R&B superstar will find herself at the forefront of the music’s biggest night after scoring nine nominations for the upcoming Grammys.

SZA secured a nod in the coveted album of the year category with SOS, but taking this award home won’t be an easy task. She faces tough competition from several formidable contenders, from Taylor Swift’s Midnights and Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts to Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation and Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd.

SZA will also be in the running for both song and record of the year with her chart-topping smash hit “Kill Bill”. Several more songs managed to break into both fields, including Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Batiste’s “Butterfly”, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”

SZA will share the limelight with Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea, who are in the running for seven awards each. They’re closely followed by Jon Batiste, Brandy Clark, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift with six nominations.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards are slated to air on CBS and Paramount+ on February 4, 2024, with the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles serving as this year’s venue.

Beyoncé and SZA gave us two of the best albums of the past year, and BET Awards voters were certainly paying attention. This ceremony returned to Los Angeles on Sunday night and gave us a dramatic tie between Beyoncé and SZA in the album of the year category.

Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Her Loss by Drake and 21 Savage, DJ Khaled’s God Did, Chris Brown’s Breezy, and GloRilla’s Anyways, Life’s Great were also in the running for this award, and BET voters had a pretty difficult choice to make. They had trouble settling for a single album of the year and decided that SZA’s SOS and Beyoncé’s Renaissance should both take the trophy home.

Both singers came out victorious in two more categories – Beyoncé took home the BET Her Award and the Viewer’s Choice Award for her hit single “Break My Soul”, while SZA was named best female R&B/pop artist, in addition to winning the video of the year award for the viral hit “Kill Bill”.

The race in the movie categories wasn’t so intense, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever easily defeated the competition to be named the best movie. The main acting awards were handed to its star Angela Bassett and the Snowfall actor Damson Idris.

SZA’s “Kill Bill” is one of the songs that 2023 will be remembered by, and it’s finally getting credit where credit is due. After eight weeks on no. 2, this viral hit finally climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the wake of the release of a new remix featuring Doja Cat.

During its most recent week on the chart, “Kill Bill” received 86.5 million radio airplay audience impressions, 28.3 million streams, and 5,000 downloads. It finally climbed to No. 1 thanks to these impressive numbers, which is quite an achievement considering it spent eight weeks at no. 2.

“Kill Bill” finally managed to surpass the previous chart-toppers Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” and Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, which both repeatedly stopped it from hitting No. 1. It was a great week for hip-hop remixes on the Billboard Hot 100 overall, with Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj’s “Princess Diana” debuting at No. 4.

“Kill Bill” also marks SZA’s very first single to hit No. 1, but Doja Cat wasn’t credited on the Billboard Hot 100 since the remix didn’t account for the majority of the song’s overall consumption. The duo previously collaborated on “Kiss Me More”, which peaked at No. 3 and won them a Grammy for the best pop duo/group performance.
