  • Comment: Fails WP:NAWARDS. The sources are wholly from iHeartRadio and I don't dispute it's reliability. However much section of the draft depends on the organisation announcing their winner. We need more secondary sources that delve more on what the award is? How it started? And so on. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 19:20, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

The iHeartRadio Titanium Awards (Titanium Awards for short)[1][2][3] are special awards presented by iHeartRadio to recognize songs that have achieved over 1 billion total audience spins on iHeartRadio stations. The inaugural awards were unveiled in the same week as the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards.[4]

The winners are announced annually without previous nominations. Some recipients have received their awards in different annual events, artists such as Doja Cat and Latto have received their Titanium Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, while other artists such as Dua Lipa and 24kGoldn have received their award at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.[5][6][7][8]

The awards were held twice in 2023, in February[9] and in June,[10] consequently, in 2024 the awards were not held.[citation needed]

Doja Cat and Post Malone are the most awarded artists in the history of the iHeartRadio Titanium Awards, having won 6 awards each one.[citation needed]

Overview

[edit]

The awards were created by iHeartRadio to recognize music success on the radio and to reflect the in slow decline importance of radio on music.[11] The number of total audience impressions is verified using data calculated by the parent company of iHeartMedia, Mediabase.[citation needed]

The trophy is black and similar to the iHeartRadio Music Award, several recipients such as Latto, 24kGoldn, Ava Max and Bebe Rexha have described the trophy as "heavy".[12][9]

Calculation

[edit]

After using Mediabase verified data, iHeartMedia multiplies it by the total number of audience at the time of the song, the result is known as 'total audience impressions' and is the metric used to determinate the recipients of the award, similar to the total number of streams from music streaming services.[citation needed]

"The Total Audience Spins calculation is based on certified Mediabase airplay and is multiplied by the number of persons listening to the radio at the time of those plays, delivering total audience impressions which is the broadcast equivalent of the number of streams from a streaming music service"

Winners

[edit]
Doja Cat (2020, 2022, 2023 (February), 2023 (June) and 2025) and Ed Sheeran (2018, 2019, 2020, 2023 (February) and 2023 (June)) have won at the most ceremonies for any artist (5).
Halsey is the most awarded artist in a single ceremony, with 4 wins in 2019.

Although the awards are mostly untelevised as the awards are special milestone awards and not traditional awards with several categories, certain recipients have received their awards televised at iHeartRadio events such as the iHeartRadio Music Awards and the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
