Charlotte Cardin is about to accept a major international honour.

The Montreal-based singer-songwriter will be celebrated as Canada's Global Woman of the Year at the star-studded Billboard Women In Music event taking place Saturday, March 29, at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California.


Cardin made history as Billboard Canada's first-ever Woman of the Year at the first edition of Billboard Canada Women in Music in Toronto last year, where she gave a stunning solo piano ballad performance. Now, she'll represent the country on the global stage.

She will join an elite group of trailblazing women shaping the future of music.

The 2025 event will also honour aespa (Group of the Year), Ángela Aguilar (Breakthrough Award), Erykah Badu (Icon Award), GloRilla (Powerhouse Award), Gracie Abrams (Songwriter of the Year), JENNIE (Global Force Award), Megan Moroney (Rulebreaker Award presented by Crown Royal Whisky), Meghan Trainor (Hitmaker Award), Muni Long (Rising Star Award Presented by Honda Stage) and Tyla (Impact Award presented by Bose).

aespa, Aguilar, GloRilla, Abrams, Moroney, Long and Tyla will all perform at the event, while Becky G, Julia Michaels, Kali Uchis, Madison Beer, Mickey Guyton, Suki Waterhouse, Summer Walker, Tanner Adell and Zara Larsson are set as presenters. Doechii will accept the Woman of the Year award.

ANNA, named Woman of the Year by Billboard Italy at its inaugural ceremony, will be celebrated as a Global Woman of the Year for Italy.

The Global Woman of the Year award continues Cardin's upward momentum that hasn't stopped since the release of her 2023 breakthrough 99 Nights. She's been touring globally, with her success spreading from North America to Europe and all over the world. She's had 15 hits on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, and they continue to rise.

Most recently, the infectious bilingual English-French pop hit "Feel Good" has become a social media phenomenon and hit the chart two years after its initial release.

Rod Stewart Hints at Possible Road Retirement After Completing 2027 UK One Last Time Dates: ‘That’ll Probably Be It’

The 81-year-old singer has been on the road for more than six decades.

Sir Rod Stewart has hinted that he might retire from major touring commitments after completing as-yet-unannounced dates on his yearslong One Last Time farewell tour. The 81-year-old pop icon has been on the road on the outing since 2024 and in a new interview with the TalkSport soccer chat show in the U.K. on Monday (May 18), Stewart laid out his plans.

“I’ve got 40-odd shows this year and that’s not really a lot,” Stewart told hosts Jeff Stelling and Ray Parlour. “And I’m touring the U.K. next year and doing the O2 and that will probably be it, I think. I’ll have to do something new … come on your show more often.”
