P!nk has been rewarded three Grammys and countless other awards over the course of her career, and she’s getting ready to add another shiny trophy to her impressive collection— the honorary Icon Award at this year’s Billboard Music Awards.
P!nk will join the ranks of Cher, Garth Brooks, Janet Jackson, and Stevie Wonder, who received this award in the past, and she couldn’t be more honored to be in such an amazing company.
“As a little girl, I always dreamed about being a singer and sharing my love of music with the world. Years later, to receive the Billboard Music Awards Icon Award is hard to fathom! It’s a true ‘pinch me’ moment and I feel humbled and blessed,” said P!nk in a statement.
Billboard’s Icon Award is reserved for “outstanding artists who have achieved excellence on the Billboard charts and have made an indelible mark on music itself.” This perfectly describes P!nk, since three of her albums hit no. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and she topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart on four separate occasions over the years.
The 2021 Billboard Music Awards will take place on May 23rd, with Nick Jonas serving as host.
