The iHeartRadio Music Awards took place this spring, but this radio network has another special honor in store. Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, and Young Thug are among the artists set to receive iHeartRadio Titanium Awards.

The iHeartRadio titanium award is a special achievement presented to artists with one billion total audience spins across iHeartRadio stations. Four smash hits reached this milestone in 2021: Ariana Grande’s “Positions,” Chris Brown and Young Thug’s “Go Crazy,” Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” and 24Goldn’s and Iann Dior’s “Mood.”

We’re expecting more recipients will be announced as the year progresses and other songs reach one billion spins. Back in 2020, Post Malone and Shawn Mendes were leading the way with three awards each, while Ariana Grande, Drake, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, and The Weeknd were amongst the artists who collected two.

Most of them were in the running for iHeartRadio Music Awards, which took place back in May. The Weeknd topped the list of winners with a total of five awards, including male artist of the year and song of the year with “Blinding Lights”.
