Which Music Executive Has the Most Influence? Vote Now

Billboard is bringing back its peer-voted Power Players’ Choice Award for 2024, asking members of the music industry across all sectors to honor the executive they believe had the most impact across the business in the past year.

Voting is now open to all Billboard Pro members, both existing and new, with one vote per member per round.

The Power Players’ Choice Award will run alongside Billboard’s annual Power 100 ranking of the music industry’s most influential executives, which will be announced in February.

Billboard launched its first Players’ Choice Award with the Power 100 list last January, followed by the Country Power Players’ Choice Award that concluded in June and the R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players’ Choice Award in August and the Latin Power Players’ Choice Award in September. In 2024, the peer-voted award will expand to also cover International Power Players and Top Music Lawyers.

The first round of voting for the Power Players’ Choice Award is now open with an open call for nominees and will run through Dec. 10.

The second round of voting will begin Dec. 11, in order to narrow down the top 20 nominees into the final five top executives and will run through Jan. 1.

The third round of voting will begin Jan. 2, to select the winner from that list. Voting concludes Jan. 14 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
