Although the music industry holds award ceremonies as important as the Grammy Awards, Apple dared in 2019 to enter this world with the creation of the Apple Music Awards. In 2020, the company once again awarded the best of the year.
In these first two editions, Apple recognized artists such as Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Lil Baby, Megan Thee Stallion and Taylor Swift. Although all are of American origin, each has their own style, ranging from hip hop to rap to pop.
The winners are chosen through a process of analysis of the Apple Music service, both by the professionals who work there and taking into account what their customers have heard the most during these months.
When are the 2021 Apple Music Awards?
It is not yet known when the 2021 edition of the Apple Music Awards will be held, but given that the first two took place at the end of the year, it is expected to be in December. next.
In 2020, we met the winners almost a month before the awards ceremony, so it may be November 2021 that we know who the lucky ones will be. It’s a bit early to make predictions.
What are the categories of the Apple Music Awards?
The Apple Music Awards are divided into five categories:
- World Artist of the Year
- Revolutionary Artist of the Year
- Composer of the Year

Without too many surprises, Billie Eilish won the first artist of the year award in 2019, while in 2020 it was Lil Baby. Eilish and her brother Finneas also received the Composer of the Year award in 2019, but last year it went to Taylor Swift.
These two categories, along with Revelation Artist of the Year (for Lizzo in 2019 and for Megan Thee Stallion in 2020), are chosen by a team of Apple Music experts, while the rest represent the tastes of its users.
The song of the year award was, in 2019, for “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X, while in its second edition, Apple awarded “The Box” by Roddy Ricch. Without a doubt, these two were among the most listened to songs on the platform in their respective years.
