iHeartRadio Music Awards 2025 – Best Collaboration
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, which celebrate the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app throughout 2024, will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 17, 2025. The show will be broadcast live on Fox and iHeartRadio platforms. This year’s Best Collaboration category features a diverse range of artists and musical styles, but BEO Betting Odds predicts a strong likelihood that Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars will take home the award.
BEO Betting Odds Point to Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars as Frontrunners
According to BEO Betting Odds, the clear frontrunner for Best Collaboration is “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. The odds currently stand at 1.72, with a winning probability of 58.14%. “Die With a Smile,” released on August 16, 2024, was a collaboration that came about when Mars invited Gaga to his studio. The song, a blend of pop-soul and soft rock, was written and recorded in a single day. It was later included on Gaga’s album, Mayhem. The song and its accompanying music video showcase a ’70s soft rock aesthetic, drawing comparisons to Mars’s work with Anderson .Paak in Silk Sonic.
