Who is Most Likely to Win?
There are a number of options when it comes to who is most likely to win the Pop Artist of the Year award, including both newcomers and those who have been in the business for a long time. Here are some of the top predictions:
- Chappell Roan
- Billie Eilish
- Sabrina Carpenter
- Taylor Swift
The celebrity with the best odds so far is Chappell Roan, whose astronomical rise to stardom occurred throughout 2024. Although she has been in the business for a few years, it was only in 2024 that she began to be heard frequently on most big pop stations. This was particularly due to her top positioning on the US Billboard 100, with her single ‘Good Luck Babe’ reaching number four.
Her debut album, Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, reached number 2 on the album charts and the US Billboard 200 and was acclaimed overseas in the UK. In fact, her single ‘Pink Pony Club’ reached number 1 in the UK in March. The success of her music after so long under the radar was helped by performances at the MTV Music Awards, Coachella, and the Grammys, as well as a global tour.
Chappell Roan is not the only celebrity in the running, though, and Billie Eilish is also a top candidate for Pop Artist of the Year. Not only did Billie Eilish bring out a new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, but she also started out on a US tour. This album was well-reviewed after previous successes ofWhen We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Her success has built up over many years, starting with music releases on SoundCloud when she was just 13.
However, none of them have been named the pop queen in quite the same way as Taylor Swift, who has millions of fans worldwide and an almost endless array of releases, including new recordings of her previous albums that had been produced under Big Machine Records. Her 2024 releases included The Tortured Poets Department in April of that year, which included the song ‘Florida,’ on which she collaborated with Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine.
To find out who wins Pop Artist of the Year at the iHeart Radio Music Awards, you’ll have to wait until March 17.
If you believe that Taylor Swift could climb to the top and become the winner of Pop Artist of the Year, you could get a $600 payout by betting $100 at Palmer Bet.
