Charlotte Cardin Will be Honoured as Global Woman of the Year at Billboard Women in Music 2025

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.
