Victoria Monét accepts the Hitmaker Award at BillboardR&B #1 Party 2024.
Damien Scott:
Thanks for coming. We really appreciate it. It's been a historic and amazing week of hip-hop here at BillboardI'm glad we can celebrate this R&B. I'm Damien Scott. I'm the deputy editorial director of BillboardI've been here for a year now. It's been an amazing, amazing journey. 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 marked Victoria Monét’s commercial breakthrough and put her on the same page as all the superstars whose careers she helped elevate in the years before. Because that’s what she does. She just makes everything better. Then she’s kept it moving forward. Her mainstream arrival came when she won three Grammys, including one for best new artist, and she’s been on a roll ever since. Her smash hit “On My Mama” was one of only two songs to top the Adult R&B Airplay, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts last year. But all of that is just a small part of the reason we’re so proud to present her with the 2024 Hitmaker Award. Victoria Monét, please come and accept this.
Keep watching for more!
