The iHeartRadio Titanium Awards are dedicated to songs that managed to cross one billion spins across iHeart stations, and the list of this year’s recipients is in. Latto, Doja Cat, and Ed Sheeran are among the artists to score Titanium Award-winning songs this time around.
The list of songs to cross one billion spins by 2023 includes Doja Cat‘s “Woman,” Ed Sheeran‘s “Shivers,” Jack Harlow‘s “First Class,” Latto‘s “Big Energy” and Wizkid and Tems‘ “Essence”, based on total audience impressions.
Ed Sheeran even accepted his award in person while visiting iHeartRadio in New York, and said it’s really, really, really cool to have their listeners so invested in his music.
“You always wonder every album whether you’re going to lose the kids, because I constantly have young people coming to my gigs. With ‘Shivers,’ all these kids keep coming up to me saying they like ‘Shivers,’ and I’m like, ‘Alright, I still got them,’” said Sheeran in a statement.
All five songs were released during the 2020s, and “Essence” by Wizkid and Tems has been around the longest, after being released in October 2020. “Shivers”, “Big Energy”, and “Woman” were all released in 2021, while Jack Harlow’s “First Class” reached one billion spins during the shortest time frame, after hitting the shelves in April last year.
