Victoria Monét Accepts the Hitmaker Award | Billboard’s R&B No. 1s 2024
Victoria Monét accepts the Hitmaker Award at Billboard’s R&B No. 1s 2024 party.
Damien Scott:
Thank you for coming out. We really appreciate it. It’s been a historical, amazing hip-hop week here at Billboard. I’m glad that we can have this R&B celebration. I’m Damien Scott. I’m the deputy editorial director at Billboard. I’ve been here for a year so far. It’s been an amazing, amazing ride. But tonight I’m here to talk about a very special person. When we named Jaguar II as one of the best albums of 2023, we said the album signaled Victoria Monét’s commercial breakthrough, and put her on the same page as all the superstars whose career she helped elevate in the years past. Because that’s what she does. She just makes everything better. Then she has kept it moving. Her mainstream arrival came when she won three Grammys, including one for best new artist, and she’s been on a roll since then. Her smash hit “On My Mama” was one of the only two songs to top the Adult R&B Airplay, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts in the last year. But all of that is only a small part of why we’re so proud to present her with the 2024 Hitmaker Award. Victoria Monét, please come down and accept this.
Keep watching for more!
