Benson Boone, one of pop music’s fastest-rising stars, is set to receive the prestigious BMI Champion Award at this year’s BMI Pop Awards, taking place on May 13 at the Beverly Wilshire in California. The honor is reserved for artists who have made a significant impact on the music industry and cultivated a deeply loyal global fanbase.
At the same time, Boone’s debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, celebrates its one-year anniversary with a milestone achievement—52 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200. The album debuted at No. 6, racking up over 58,000 sales in its first week, and has consistently remained in the chart’s top 15.
Among the standout tracks is Beautiful Things, a breakout hit that soared to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 1 in the UK, further solidifying Boone’s growing global appeal.
While the BMI Pop Awards will also spotlight a wide range of songwriters and publishers, Boone’s recognition marks a defining moment: the arrival of a fresh, dynamic force in the world of pop music—one that’s clearly here to stay.
