This Labor day weekend, iHeartRadio unveiled its Music Award winners on Twitter. This comes after the award’s in-person ceremony was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The iHeartRadio Music awards which honor the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app, were originally set to take place on March 29 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. I Cry singer, Usher was also roped in to host the Fox broadcast, but COVID-19 caused the plan to fall through. The show’s programme and schedule went back and forth on multiple occasions. On March 16, iHeart postponed the event and then on Aug. 24, it canceled the ceremony altogether. And announced it’s plan of revealing the winners over the Labor Day weekend.
