Tonight, the annual country music awards are being held for the 45th year. The music awards are hosted by the music television channel CMT, and are commonly known as the Academy of Country Music Awards and not to be confused with the Country Music Association Awards (CMAs). This year, country legend Reba McEntire is hosting the awards ceremony. The best of the best in country will be filling the room and awards will be given out to amazingly talented country singers.
From 1990-2006, Billboard Magazine sponsored the Billboard Awards each year in December to honor the past year's successes within the music industry, based on its year-end music charts, and therefore, on popularity. From the outset, awards included Top Album, Top Artist, and Top Single in every genre. A Billboard Century Award was added in 1992, to honor the artist with the most exceptional creative contributions to the music industry. During its seventeen years, the Billboard Awards show was broadcast on the Fox network; but in 2007, circumstances including the expiration of contacts led to the cancellation of the awards ceremony that year, and it has not resumed since despite efforts to revive the program. Instead, in the absence of the ceremony, Billboard has continued announcing the winners in each category as a part of each year's final Billboard Magazine issue. Although the American Billboard Awards have faded, Billboard Latin America still presents its ceremony each year to honor the greatest of the past year's Latin Music artists.
The Grammy Award is presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. The categories you can win an award for are: best new artist, album of the year, song of the year, and record of the year. These categories are also handed out awards for certain genres.
The first hosts were Paul Shaffer and Morris Day, along with Jerome Benton. Later hosts have included Phil Collins, Jon Stewart, Chris Rock, Kathy Griffin, Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer, and Ryan Seacrest. Kathy Griffin is the most frequent host at three times, in 1998 with Andy Dick, in 1999 with Adam Corolla, and in 2000 with N Sync.
The ceremonies in 1990 and 1991, the first two, were aired after taping. Since then they have aired live from 1992-2006 and have taken place in the Los Angeles area, New York, and Las Vegas. Crystal awards presented honor achievements in the genres of R&B, Rap, Country, Modern Rock, Classical, and shed the spotlight on Independent artists & albums as well. Categories include Artist of the Year, Best New Artist, Duo/Group Album of the Year, Hot 100 Producer, Hot 100 Songwriter, Hot 100 Single of the Year, Best Touring Venue, Best Concert Venue, Best Soundtrack Single, Best Digital Track, Bestselling Single, and the Century Award and Artist of the Decade Award when appropriate.
If you have a radio station online you can either nominate yourself or one of your listeners can nominate for an award. It is a great way to see what stations there are around the world and to recognize the hard work that your favorite Internet station does day to day to provide you with great music to listen to.
Other awards that are handed out are: top male and female vocalist, song of the year, album of the year, top vocal group and duo, top new artist and group, vocal event of the year, video of the year, and the triple crown award.
