The prestigious Billboard Country Power Players’ Choice Award is back for 2024, inviting music industry professionals to vote for the executive who made the most significant impact in the country music genre over the past year. The award is part of Billboard’s annual Country Power Players list, which recognizes the most influential executives in the industry.
Voting is now open to all Billboard Pro members, with one vote allowed per member per round. The second round of voting will narrow down the top 15 nominees to the final five executives, with the third round determining the ultimate winner. The voting process will conclude on April 28 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
The award has expanded this year to include categories such as International Power Players and Top Music Lawyers, in addition to the existing categories like R&B/Hip-Hop and Latin Power Players. The semifinalists for the Country Power Players’ Choice Award include industry heavyweights like Aaron Bay-Schuck, CEO of Warner Records, and Martha Earls, Owner & Manager at Neon Coast.
The winner will be announced in May alongside the release of Billboard’s annual Country Power Players list. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of these executives in shaping the country music industry.
