Alicia Keys, Garth Brooks and Halsey to Be Honored at the “2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards” Airing Live, Thursday, March 14, on FOX

iHeartMedia and Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX) announced today that the
2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards will honor Alicia Keys with the iHeartRadio
Innovator Award; Garth Brooks with the Artist of the
Decade Award; and Halsey with the iHeartRadio Fangirls
Award presented by L'Oréal Paris. The two-hour event airs live Thursday,
March 14 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX from
Microsoft Theater.

The sixth annual iHeartRadio Music Awards also will broadcast live on
iHeartMedia radio stations nationwide and iHeartRadio, the all-in-one
digital music, podcast, on demand and live-streaming radio service.

iHeartRadio will honor 15-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys with the
coveted 2019 iHeartRadio Innovator Award for her unparalleled
contributions to pop culture and social causes as an artist, songwriter,
producer, entrepreneur and activist. She has released six critically
acclaimed studio albums, including her game-changing debut, Songs in
A Minor. She launched in 2018, She Is The Music, a nonprofit focused
on driving equality, inclusivity and opportunity for women across the
music community, which recently announced the launch of the largest
global industry database for female creators and professionals. Keys is
also a co-founder of the Keep a Child Alive non-profit organization,
which partners with grass-roots organizations to combat the physical,
social and economic impact of HIV on children, their families and their
communities in Africa and India. Past honorees of the iHeartRadio
Innovator Award include Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, U2, Bruno Mars and
Chance The Rapper.

In addition, Garth Brooks will receive the first-ever iHeartRadio Artist
of the Decade Award for his impact on the music industry as one of the
world’s most successful and beloved artists. Brooks is the first
recipient of this award, created to honor his outstanding achievements.
He is the #1 selling solo artist in U.S. history, with more than 148
million albums sold. He also is the first-ever artist to be awarded
seven diamonds by the RIAA for having seven albums certified with more
than 10 million sales each. Since the 1990s, Brooks has had nine #1
albums on Billboard’s Top 200 and 17 #1 albums on the Top Country Albums
chart, spending more weeks at #1 on the album sales charts than any
other artist since Soundscan’s inception. Brooks was recently named the
inaugural inductee into the Live Music Hall of Fame and has been
inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame, International Songwriters Hall
of Fame in New York, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the
Country Music Hall of Fame. The recent Garth Brooks World Tour with
Trisha Yearwood smashed Brooks’ own previously held records by selling
6.4 million tickets, making it the biggest North American tour in
history. In 2018, Brooks performed the first-ever concert at Notre Dame
and sold out 84,000 tickets in under two hours.

At this year's awards, L'Oréal Paris and iHeartRadio also will present
Halsey with the 2019 Fangirls Award, which recognizes a female artist
who has pushed boundaries with her music and message while inspiring her
fans around the globe. The Fangirls Award presented by L'Oréal Paris
celebrates the power of women coming together in support of other women.
The award, inspired by L’Oréal Paris’ deep-rooted belief in the inherent
worth of every woman, encourages fans to show their support and
appreciation for women – and artists – who inspire and empower them.

Halsey embodies the L'Oréal Paris philosophy, "Because You're Worth It,"
demonstrating ambition, passion and a strong sense of self-worth by
using her voice both in her chart-topping music – which has garnered
more than 10 billion streams globally, nearly 8 million adjusted albums
sold and 6 consecutive top 5 airplay singles, including 3 of which
reached the #1 spot, and a 4^th on its way – and championing
causes she passionately believes in, including disenfranchised youth,
women’s rights, mental health and the LGBTQ community. The alternative
pop artist also is nominated in three 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards
categories, including Female Artist of the Year. Last year’s inaugural
iHeartRadio Fangirls Award recipient was Camila Cabello.

Nominees for the iHeartRadio Music Awards were announced on January
9. Artists receiving multiple nominations include Cardi B, Drake, Ariana
Grande, Shawn Mendes, Post Malone, Maroon 5 and Imagine Dragons. For a
