Billboard recently announced the amazing artists who will be honored at their 2023 Women in Music event!

Becky G will receive the "Impact" award, Petras will receive the "Chartbreaker" award, Doechii will receive the "Rising Star" award, TWICE will receive the "Breakthrough" award, del Rey will receive the "Visionary" award, Wilson will receive the "Rulebreaker" award, Latto will receive the "Powerhouse" award, and Queen will receive the "Icon" award.

Billboard's Editorial Director Hannah Karp said in a statement, "We’re thrilled to recognize these groundbreaking artists across genres and generations who are defining today’s sound – and paving the way for tomorrow’s women in music."

Women in Music will be a big night for all of the honorees, who are all making history in their own ways! TWICE, for instance, will be the first Korean pop female group to win an award for Billboard Women in Music, and will be only the second girl group to be honored following Fifth Harmony in 2015.

Billboard's Women in Music event will be held on March 1st at the Youtube Theater, and will be hosted by Quinta Brunson!

The event is open to the public, and pre-sale tickets are already available! General sale will begin on Friday, February 3rd.
