Beyoncé will be honored with the iHeartRadio Innovator Award at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, which will be hosted by Ludacris, who will also perform during the April 1 event.
The current single from Beyoncé, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” is officially the first song in music history to simultaneously chart across CHR, hot AC, AC, country, rhythmic, hip-hop, R&B, and adult alternative radio formats in the U.S. It is the first song this year to reach No. 1 in the U.S. and globally on all major sales/streaming platforms, also making her the first Black female artist to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100 with a country song.
This follows a career that includes multi-format chart-topping songs and last year’s Renaissance World Tour, which was the highest-grossing tour in history for both an R&B artist and a Black female artist.
Ludacris joins the previously announced performance lineup including Justin Timberlake, Green Day, TLC, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, and Tate McRae, plus a special musical tribute to the 2024 iHeartRadio Icon Award Recipient Cher.
