Garth Brooks
Feb 26, 2020
Pearl Records' Garth Brooks will receive the "ICON Award" at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, and take the stage for a performance. Brooks is the first and only artist in history to achieve eight diamond-certified albums at over 10 million album sales each. He remains the #1-selling solo artist in U.S. history, certified by the RIAA with more than 156 million album sales. In January, Billboard announced that Brooks became the first artist to have appeared on its Hot Country Songs chart in the ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, ‘10s and ‘20s.
Previous recipients of the "ICON Award" include Cher, Neil Diamond, Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. The show, with returning host Kelly Clarkson, will air live from Las Vegas on Wednesday, April 29th at 7p (CT) on NBC-TV. For more information on Brooks, visit www.GarthBrooks.com.
