The iHeartRadio music awards was televised on March 11, 2018 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.

The iHeartRadio was founded on April 2008 as a website, but than later turned into a music award. The company, iHeartRadio, nominates artists from the year before and their top hits and best songs, in which fans vote for the nominees. Fans vote for their nominees in one of two ways, which consist of voting online through the iHeartRadio Music Awards, or voting via social media accounts, like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. In order to vote, you must be a resident in the U.S., Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, in which you only have 50 votes. The voting window usually opens early January and ends early March.
