iHeartRadio History
The iHeartRadio Awards has been a staple of the music industry for decades. The event was founded in 2014 by iHeartRadio to recognize the most popular artists and music over the past year. Winners are chosen by cumulative performance data. The public is still allowed to vote, but the data comes into play alongside the votes. iHeartRadio Awards was first held on May 1st, 2014 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and aired on NBC rather than Fox.
In the wake of the devastating wildfires tearing through Los Angeles currently, iHeartRadio has announced they will be helping aid the resilience of Los Angeles by donating proceeds to FireAide. The 2025 Award Show will not only recognize artists but also pay tribute to the fans who have kept this show running for 11 years.
Icon Award Recipient
Mariah Carey has over 200 million records sold worldwide, and 19 number-one singles. The Radio Station would like to recognize Mariah for being one of the most fiercely independent female artists who set the bar for other female stars. Not only does she have a 5-octave range, but she also possesses an impressive whistle register. 2025 is a big year for Mariah Carey with it also being the year her album The Emancipation Of Mimi turns 20 years old. This album left its mark on the world when it surfaced in 2005.
