Radio Music Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Radio Music Awards is an annual U.S. award that honors the year's most successful songs. Originally a televised show recognizing mainstream radio, nominations were based on the amount of airplay recording artists received on radio stations in various formats using chart information compiled by Mediabase.[1] The awards have now expanded to honor both major label and independent recording artists. Works are committee-reviewed based on the artistic and technical merits of the recordings and products submitted. The Radio Music Awards can be found online at www.radiomusicawards.com.

Originally conceived as an award show vehicle for The WB in 1999, it was moved to ABC in 2000 and finally to NBC, which promoted it as the music industry's answer to the Golden Globes.[2]

In past years, the show included many of the top names in music including NSYNC, Shakira, Backstreet Boys, Green Day, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Train, Elton John, Destiny's Child, Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, Lenny Kravitz, Nelly, Gavin DeGraw, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Lifehouse, and Christina Aguilera, among others.
