Kickstarting Fashion Week, the event took place Monday (Sept. 16) at Teatro Manzoni, with the patronage of the Municipality of Milan and Camera della Moda, the association of Italian fashion brands.
Opened by a video message from the mayor Giuseppe Sala, the show was hosted by two protagonists of Italian cinema and TV, Cristiana Capotondi and Maurizio Lastrico. With their sympathy and energy, the two hosts introduced the honorees and the special guests who took the stage.
In addition to the awards, the first edition of Billboard Italia Women in Music also saw special performances by Gaia (Hitmaker of the Year, who sang her summer hit, “Sesso e Samba”), emerging talent Bu Cuaron, Federica Abbate (Songwriter of the Year, who sang a medley of some of the biggest hits she wrote for others) and Ariete.

At the end of the show, Rinascente, Italy’s top luxury store and one of the main partners of Billboard Italia Women In Music, welcomed guests to a spectacular party on the rooftop of the iconic store in Piazza Duomo, where the music continued with DJ sets by Anfisa Letyago (DJ of the Year) and Margherita Grechi and live performances by Alexia and Gaia, who sang “Sesso e Samba” again but this time with the surprise participation of Tony Effe.

In addition to Rinascente itself, the sponsors were Rabanne and Bellissima, which presented the “Stylist of the Year” award.
Radio 105 was the official radio station of Billboard Italia Women in Music and presented the “Hitmaker of The Year” award, in addition to animating both the event at Teatro Manzoni and the aftershow with its speakers and DJs.
Billboard Italia Women in Music was created with the support of the collecting society SIAE (Società Italiana degli Autori ed Editori) and produced in collaboration with Vivo Concerti, with direction by Gianlorenzo Mortgat. Ticketmaster Italia was the ticketing partner of the event.
Below is the complete list of honorees, with the official reasons for their respective awards.
ANNA, Woman of the YearHer new album, Vera Baddie, broke several records, some unbeaten for almost 20 years, occupying the first place in the Italian chart for nine consecutive weeks. Since 2020, she has been breaking down the gender gap in Italian rap like never before.
Laura Pausini, IconShe’s the artist who, more than anyone else, in her 30-year career, has held the flag of Italian music high in the world. A globally recognized talent, Pausini is an artist who, despite having achieved all possible goals, never stops putting herself on the line.
Elodie, Performer of the YearHer tour in the arenas was explosive and entirely sold out, with a live show that was a manifesto of freedom. With two dates in the stadiums already scheduled for next summer in Milan and Naples, she will be the third Italian female artist to take the stage of San Siro Stadium and the first woman to perform at the Maradona Stadium.
Gaia on September 16 during the first Italian edition of Billboard Women in Music.
Elena Di Vincenzo
Gaia, Hitmaker of the Year by Radio 105An artistic vision that leaves nothing to chance and steals nothing from her naturalness. Gaia is synonymous with freedom of expression, in music but not only. This summer she was an absolute protagonist with “Sesso e Samba” feat. Tony Effe. That refrain is exactly what we can’t get out of our heads.
Rose Villain, Impact AwardFrom her debut album Radio Gotham onwards, she has established herself on the Italian charts. Rose Villain has never stopped expressing her opinions, from the topic of environmental sustainability to that of the inequality of treatment between men and women in music and all other professional sectors.
BigMama on September 16 during the first Italian edition of Billboard Women in Music.
Camilla Pisoni
BigMama, BreakthroughWith an explosive participation in the Sanremo Festival, where she honored women with a performance in which the key words were “sisterhood” and “female power,” Italy was able to get to know her music and her personality better. BigMama is the most disruptive revelation of 2024.
Clara, Rising StarA rising star of Italian music, she introduced us to her talent as a singer and as an actress, obtaining impressive results in a very short time, from the success of the TV series Mare Fuori to her participation in the Sanremo Festival. For this reason, Clara is the Rising Star at Billboard Italia Women in Music.
Federica Abbate on September 16 during the first Italian edition of Billboard Women in Music.
Camilla Pisoni
Federica Abbate, Songwriter of the YearHow many hits of the last few years in Italy bear her signature? Many. Federica Abbate is a singer-songwriter who a year ago published her first album of unreleased songs, Canzoni per gli Altri. From pop to rap, everything her pen touches turns to gold. Or rather platinum, and in one case, even diamond.
Anfisa Letyago, DJ of the YearA true pride of the Italian electronic scene, Anfisa Letyago has climbed to the top of the international dance scene with her engaging DJ sets and her sophisticated productions. Now she is touring the world but her heart stays in Naples, a city that never ceases to give her ideas and inspiration.
Marta Salogni, Producer of the YearShe’s the producer and sound engineer who makes Italy proud on a global level. Björk, Depeche Mode, Animal Collective and Bon Iver are just some of the artists who have had the pleasure of having her in the control room. For this reason, Marta Salogni is Producer of the Year of Billboard Italia Women in Music.
Marta Donà, Manager of the YearFrom the courageous choice to start a managerial career on her own, very young, in 2012, to the most recent milestone of Angelina Mango’s victory at the Sanremo Festival, from the strength of her all-female team to the passion she puts in her work: this is why Marta Donà is Manager of the Year of Billboard Italia Women in Music.
Sara Potente, A&R of the YearShe discovered new talents of Italian music and with determination worked alongside them until she achieved the success she deserved. Now she is the director of Numero Uno, the historic label (part of Sony Music Italy) that was founded by legendary Lucio Battisti and songwriter Mogol.
Ramona Tabita, Stylist of the Year by BellissimaShe takes care of the image of some of the most important protagonists of the Italian music scene and beyond. She is a creative consultant for several brands. She is undoubtedly the name that best embodies the connection between music and fashion, and that is why Ramona Tabita is Stylist of the Year by Bellissima.
If you’re tempted to wish Chappell Roan some good luck, babe, at the 2025 Grammys, save it. The 26-year-old pop star isn’t gunning for any other major awards this cycle, even after winning best new artist at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.
In her cover story interview with The Face published Monday (Sept. 16), Roan explained why she’s “kind of hoping” she doesn’t take home any trophies for her massive debut album era with The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. “My mom would love to go to the Grammys or the Brits,” she told the publication. “[But] I’m kind of hoping I don’t win, because then everyone will get off my a–: ‘See guys, we did it and we didn’t win, bye!’ I won’t have to do this again!”
The “Hot to Go!” artist went on to explain what’s more important to her than a golden gramophone statuette: sustainability. “That’s my biggest goal right now,” she said. “My brain is like: Quit right now, take next year off. This industry and artistry f–king thrive on mental illness, burnout, overworking yourself, overextending yourself, not sleeping. You get bigger, the more unhealthy you are. Isn’t that so f–ked up?”
Trending on Billboard
“The ambition is: How do I not hate myself, my job, my life, and do this?” she added. “Because right now, it’s not working. I’m just scrambling to try to feel healthy.”
Roan has been open about feeling overwhelmed in the face of sudden super fame, the negative aspects of which she compared to an “abusive ex-husband” in the cover story. But whether she’s ready for it or not, the Missouri native is expected to snag nominations for many of the major Grammy categories ahead of February’s ceremony, particularly best new artist.
And if the Sept. 11 VMAs are any indication, Roan is a shoo-in. After delivering a fiery Joan of Arc-inspired performance of her Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit “Good Luck, Babe!” on the UBS Arena stage in New York, the musician beat out Tyla and Gracie Abrams for best new artist.
“I dedicate this to all the drag artists who inspire me, and I dedicate this to queer and trans people who fuel pop,” she said during her acceptance speech. “To the gays, who dedicate my songs to someone they love or hate … for all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now, I see you. I understand you, because I am one of you.”

Tito Jackson’s death on Sunday Sept. 15 at age 70 has put a spotlight on the Jackson 5 (later the Jacksons), which had a string of classic hits in the 1970s and ’80s.
You may be surprised to learn that the J5 never won a Grammy. Michael Jackson won 13 Grammys, but all were for his solo career.
Trending on Billboard
Three J5 classics – “I Want You Back,” “ABC” and “I’ll Be There” – have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, which functions as a second chance for the Recording Academy to honor great recordings.
The J5 have yet to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy, though Michael received a posthumous lifetime achievement award in 2010.
The J5 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 by their old pal Diana Ross, who was credited with having discovered them. (Whether or not she actually discovered them, she did lend her name to their 1970 debut studio album, which was titled Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5.) Michael was inducted into the Rock Hall as a solo artist in 2001.
Here are the three Jackson 5 records that were nominated for, but did not win, Grammys.
“ABC” (1970)
Nominated for: Best contemporary vocal performance by a duo, group or chorus
Lost to: Carpenters, “Close to You”
Notes: Both family acts were red-hot at the time. “Close to You” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks and was Billboard’s No. 1 song of the summer for 1970. “ABC,” which topped the Hot 100 for two weeks, was the J5’s second No. 1 hit of 1970 (out of a career-launching volley of four consecutive No. 1 hits). “Close to You” was also nominated for record of the year (unlike “ABC”), which showed its strength with Grammy voters. “ABC” and “Close to You” have both been voted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, a sign that both are now regarded as top-tier classics.
Fun fact: Michael was known to be a fan of the Carpenters.

“Dancing Machine” (1974)
Nominated for: Best R&B vocal performance by a duo, group or chorus
Lost to: Rufus’ “Tell Me Something Good”
Notes: “Dancing Machine” was an important record in the J5’s career. It not only became their biggest Hot 100 hit in three years, but it showed them to be all grown up, with little trace of the bubblegum of such early hits as “ABC.” The record peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 behind Ray Stevens’ inane novelty hit “The Streak,” a look at the then-hot fad of streaking (see also: the streaker who raced across the stage behind David Niven on the 1974 Oscars). Stevie Wonder wrote the beyond-funky “Tell Me Something Good,” which was Rufus’ first Hot 100 hit. It reached No. 3.
Fun fact: The J5 performed “Dancing Machine” on The Carol Burnett Show in 1974 and on Cher’s solo TV show the following year. Cher, who did not lack for nerve, joined the group in a medley of five of their hits, capped by “Dancing Machine.”

Triumph (1980)
Nominated for: Best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocal
Lost to: The Manhattans’ “Shining Star”
Notes: How were Grammy voters expected to compare performances on full albums like Triumph with performances on singles like “Shining Star”? Good question. (The Recording Academy no longer pits albums and singles against each other in performance categories.)
Triumph reached No. 10 on the Billboard 200, becoming the group’s first top 10 album since the J5 (which had four top 10 albums) evolved into the Jacksons in 1976. Triumph spawned four Hot 100 hits on the Hot 100: “Lovely One” (No. 12), “Heartbreak Hotel” (No. 22). “Can You Feel It” (No. 77) and “Walk Right Now” (No. 73). None of them were as big as “Shining Star,” which reached No. 5, becoming the second-biggest group by the old-school R&B vocal group, whose “Kiss and Say Goodbye” reached No. 1 in the summer of 1976.
Fun fact: The Manhattans were signed to Columbia, sister label to The Jacksons’ Epic. That may have made CBS Records’ post-Grammys party a little awkward that year.

The 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards is headed to Sin City. The show will be held in Las Vegas for the first time on Oct. 8 and will premiere Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on BET. BET is expected to announce the venue next week.
“BET is excited to bring BET Hip Hop Awards to a city known for its electrifying atmosphere and rich history of awe-inspiring entertainment,” Scott Mills, president & CEO of BET, said in a statement. “From the groundbreaking performances of legends like Sammy Davis Jr. and Lena Horne, who shattered racial barriers, to today’s leading and emerging artists, Las Vegas’ vibrant energy reflects the innovation, soul, and storytelling that Black culture continuously contributes.”
The BET Hip Hop Awards, which originated in 2006, has been held in Atlanta in all but three years. It shifted to Miami in 2017-18 and was held in multiple locations in 2020, at the height of the pandemic. Fat Joe hosted the show the last two years. This year’s host has not yet been named.

Connie Orlando, EVP of specials, music programming & music strategy at BET, will oversee production of the annual event and serve as executive producer with Jamal Noisette, BET’s SVP of specials & music programming. Jesse Collins, CEO of Jesse Collins Entertainment, will act as executive producer, with Jeannae Rouzan-Clay and Dionne Harmon from Jesse Collins Entertainment also serving as executive producers.
Collins and Harmon won Primetime Emmys two years ago for their work on The Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show Starring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, which was voted outstanding variety special (live).
Las Vegas has become a popular home for awards shows. The Billboard Music Awards were based there most years from 1996 to 2022. The Academy of Country Music Awards were held there in all but three years from 2003 to 2022. The Grammys were held there in 2022, the only time the show has been broadcast from a city in which it doesn’t have a chapter.
The Daily Show won outstanding talk series at the 2024 Primetime Emmys, which were held at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday (Sept. 15). It’s the franchise’s 13th win in that category (or predecessor categories). The Daily Show With Jon Stewart won 11 times. The Daily Show With Trevor Noah won once, last year. This year, the show won with six rotating hosts: Stewart, Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic and Dulcé Sloan.
This brings Stewart’s total of Primetime Emmys to 23. The record for most Emmy wins is held by Sheila Nevins, who has won 32 Primetime Emmys for her work on HBO programs.
The Daily Show won in a stacked category that also included Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and Late Night With Seth Meyers. None of these other shows have ever won in this category. This is the 12th nomination in the category for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which puts it in a tie with Real Time With Bill Maher for the most nods here without a win. It’s the seventh nod for Colbert’s show and the second for Meyers’ show.
Trending on Billboard
Kimmel expressed mock dismay at the result. “Jon, you should be ashamed of yourself. You said you were retiring.”
The Primetime Emmys were ably hosted by the father-and-son team of Eugene and Dan Levy, who each won multiple Emmys four years ago for their work on Schitt’s Creek.
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver won outstanding scripted variety show for the second year in a row, again beating Saturday Night Live. Prior to these two wins, Last Week Tonight won outstanding variety talk series seven years running. In addition, Oliver and his writers have won the Emmy for writing in variety nine years in a row. Oliver won his first three Primetime Emmys as a writer on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.
Shōgun won four awards on the telecast, including outstanding drama series. Adding in the 14 awards it won at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, the show won 18 Emmys for its first season – more than any other series in a single year. Shōgun is the first show to win outstanding drama series for its freshman season since The Handmaid’s Tale seven years ago.
Much of the dialog on Shōgun is in Japanese. It was the second non-English-language series to be nominated for outstanding drama series, following the Korean-language Squid Game, which was nominated (but didn’t win) two years ago.
This increasing globalization at the Emmys mirrors what is happening in both film and popular music. At the Oscars earlier this year, for the first time, three films that are largely in a language other than English – Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives and The Zone of Interest – were nominated for best picture. And in the past decade, we’ve witnessed the exploding popularity of Latin music and K-pop. Two years ago, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti became the first Spanish-language album to receive a Grammy nod for album of the year.
The Bear also won four awards on the telecast. Adding in the seven awards it won at the Creative Arts Emmys, the show won 11 Emmys for its second season. That allows it to break its own record, set last year, for the most wins for a comedy series in a single season. But, in a surprise, it lost best comedy series to Hacks, which won three total awards.
Trailing Shōgun and The Bear in terms of most 2024 Emmy wins (combining tonight’s telecast and the Creative Arts Emmys) are: Baby Reindeer and Saturday Night Live (six each); Jim Henson Idea Man (five); Blue Eye Samurai, The Oscars and Ripley (four each); Hacks, Billy Joel: The 100th—Live at Madison Square Garden, The Crown, The Morning Show, Only Murders in the Building and Welcome to Wrexham (three each; and The Daily Show, Girls State, How I Met Your Father, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, Love On The Spectrum, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Traitors (two each).
Only Murders in the Building was nominated for outstanding comedy series for the third year in a row, which makes Selena Gomez (who is an executive producer of the show) the most-nominated Latina producer in Emmy history. (Gomez has said she is “a proud third-generation American-Mexican.”) Gomez was also nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for the first time, but lost to Hacks‘ Jean Smart. Gomez, one of five Latinx nominees this year, was seated in the front row with her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco.
The Traitors won outstanding reality competition program in its second year on the air. It beat four past winners in the category: The Amazing Race (10 wins), RuPaul’s Drag Race (five wins), The Voice (four wins) and Top Chef (one win). Alan Cumming, host of The Traitors, won outstanding host for a reality or reality competition program at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys.
This ends an eight-year streak in which RuPaul Charles has won at least one Primetime Emmy. He has won 14 Primetime Emmys, which is more than any other person of color.
Music played a major role on the Emmy telecast.
Jelly Roll sang his current hit “I Am Not Okay,” which soundtracked the In Memoriam spot. The song, which he co-wrote with Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley and Casey Brown, was highly effective, more so than the sometimes overly obvious classics which are generally used in this spot. The segment included Martin Mull, game show host Peter Marshall, talk show host Phil Donahue and exercise guru Richard Simmons and was capped by comedy legend Bob Newhart. Jimmy Kimmel chose two words that described Newhart to a T: “politely hilarious.” There was another tribute to Newhart, when the music at the end of the show was the theme to The Bob Newhart Show (1972-78).
In addition, the producers laid in clever music cues throughout the show. Leading into a segment on TV dads, they played The Temptations’ 1972 classic “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.” Leading into a segment on coaches, they played Survivor’s 1982 motivational anthem “Eye of the Tiger.” A tribute to producer Greg Berlanti, who received the 2024 Governors Award, featured Paula Cole’s 1997 hit “I Don’t Want to Wait,” the theme from his breakthrough hit Dawson’s Creek. Ron Howard and Henry Winkler capped a bit about Happy Days’ 50th anniversary with Winkler as The Fonz hitting the jukebox to get it to play the show’s theme song, Pratt & McClain’s “Happy Days,” a top five hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976.
In one other music note, John Oliver paid tender tribute to his dog who had recently died, and noted, “I feel like Sarah McLachlan now.”
You’d think Joshua Jackson would be used to hearing Paula Cole‘s “I Don’t Want to Wait” by now, after the 1997 song opened his teen drama series Dawson’s Creek for six seasons on WB in the late ’90s and early 2000s. But he was still caught off-guard Sunday night (Sept. 15) when he took the […]
Jelly Roll made his Emmys debut on Sunday night (Sept. 15) to soundtrack the “in memoriam” segment with his poignant song “I Am Not Okay.” When the country hitmaker took the stage at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, he introduced his song — the Beautifully Broken single that has so far peaked at No. 23 on […]
