On Friday (May 23), 13 artists were presented with iHeartRadio Titanium Awards for reaching 1 billion spins of their songs across iHeartRadio stations in 2025 — and Billboard can exclusively reveal the new honorees.
Artists that reached the milestone include: Benson Boone with “Beautiful Things”; David Guetta and Bebe Rexha with “I’m Good (Blue)”; Doja Cat with “Agora Hills” and “Paint the Town Red”; Hozier with “Too Sweet”; Jack Harlow with “Lovin’ On Me”; Nicky Youre with “Sunroof” featuring Dazy; Sabrina Carpenter with “Espresso”; Shaboozey with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”; Sia with “Unstoppable”; SZA with “Saturn”; Tate McRae with “greedy”; and Teddy Swims with “Lose Control.”
Five of these billion-spin songs also topped the Billboard Hot 100: the 19-week No. 1 “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” the six-week No. 1 “Lovin’ On Me” and the three-week No. 1 “Paint the Town Red,” as well as one-week rulers “Lose Control” and “Too Sweet.”
When iHeartRadio presented David Guetta with the Titanium Award for his “Blue” smash with Bebe Rexha, the dance superstar marveled that the surprise hit had surpassed even his expectations. “This was just a DJ tool that I played in a festival, and it became a hit by accident,” he said. “So Bebe Rexha and myself are the most surprised. It’s crazy, because this record became my most streamed record – more than even ‘Titanium,’” he said, referencing his 2011 top 10 hit with Sia that shares a name with the iHeart award. “It’s kind of crazy, because sometimes you don’t really aim… you just want to have fun. But I think people can feel it. When you make music having fun, people can feel it. It works.”
Nicky Youre, meanwhile, got his Titanium Award in the mail, marking 1 billion spins for his breezy breakthrough hit “Sunroof,” featuring Dazy. “I got a package in the mail today from my friends over at iHeartRadio to commemorate 1 billion spins on my song ‘Sunroof,’ which is absolutely insane,” he says. “So I just want to say thank you so much to my family over there at iHeartRadio. Thank you to the fans. I would not have this without you. My life would be so different. So thank you so much.”
Total audience spins for the iHeartRadio Titanium Awards are based on Mediabase airplay and are multiplied by the number of people listening to the radio at the time of those plays, delivering total audience impressions, which is the broadcast equivalent of the number of streams on a streaming service.
