The iHeartRadio Titanium Awards recently named their honorees this 2022, and most, if not all, are recent GRAMMY winners.
iHeartMedia, the company that has also birthed the iHeartRadio Music Awards, presents a special award for artists who have reached massive milestones in their records.
The Titanium Award is given to artists whose records reached a threshold of 1 billion total audience spins on all iHeartRadio stations in 2022.
iHeartRadio Titanium Awards 2022 Winners
First on the list is now-confirmed Coachella performer The Weeknd, who bags the award with his Billboard Hot 100 hit "Save Your Tears."
Per IFPI, "Save Your Tears" has garnered over 2,150,000,000 global subscription streams equivalent units, making The Weeknd the first to win the Global Digital Single Award for his back-to-back placement at the chart with his 2021 "Blinding Lights."
Doja Cat and SZA's massive collaboration "Kiss Me More" is also a recipient of the iHeartRadio Titanium Award.
The GRAMMY-winning track topped Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 and Rhythmic charts.
2022 Billboard Woman of the Year Olivia Rodrigo also received the prestigious award with his GRAMMY-nominated song "good 4 u."
Rodrigo will be adding another iHeartRadio Award to his already long shelf. The 19-year-old singer bagged four awards last iHeart Radio Music Awards 2022, making her the artist with the most wins on that evening.
Lil Nas X's "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" also hits the bullseye as he is also one of the award recipients.
His lead single on his self-titled album "Montero" debuted at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts as it also placed No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 2021 Year-End Charts.
The last track to receive the iHeartRadio Titanium Award 2022 is Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI's "Stay."
"Stay" has remained in the Billboard Hot 100 Charts for a total of 39 weeks in the Top 10, besting Post Malone's "Circles." The Kid LAROI collaboration pulls the longest consecutive run in the Top 10 since its debut in July 2021.
According to iHeartMedia, the Total Audience Spins are calculated based on certified Mediabase airplay, multiplied by the number of persons listening to the radio when the track was played.
This, in turn, makes up for the total audience impressions, the equivalent of the number of streams from the usual streaming music service.
