EILISH WINS FIRST APPLE MUSIC AWARD

Apple has created the Apple Music Awards to honor achievements in music across five categories. The initial 2019 winners are…

Artist of the Year: Billie Eilish

Breakthrough Artist of the Year: Lizzo

Song of the Year: "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X

Eilish will perform Wednesday at the inaugural Apple Music Awards ceremony at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park. The event will be streamed live at 6:30pm PT/9:30pm ET.

Awards will also be handed out for Global Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.

The winners for Global Artist, Songwriter and Breakthrough Artist were selected by Apple Music's global editorial team. The awards for Album and Song are based on streaming data and reflective of what Apple Music customers have been listening to this year.

"The Apple Music Awards are designed to recognize the passion, energy and creativity of the world's favorite artists," said Oliver Schusser, VP of Apple Music and International Content. "The musically diverse group of inaugural winners have sparked deep social conversation, influenced culture and inspired our customers around the world. We couldn't be more excited to celebrate them."
