Brown will receive the Country Champion Award
Award-winning musician Kane Brown has been chosen to receive the Country Champion Award at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter will be honored for his passion for service and groundbreaking contributions to the country music industry and beyond.
Hosted by Shania Twain, the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards will air live on Thursday, September 26th at 8 pm ET/PT across NBC and Peacock from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. The Live From E!: People’s Choice Country Awards red carpet event will kick off the night at 6 pm ET/PT on E!.
Multi-platinum, award-winning, singer-songwriter Brown recently released the follow-up to his 11th No. 1 single on country radio, “Miles On It,” with Marshmello, and is on his 2024 In The Air stadium headline tour. Brown first broke onto the scene with the arrival of his self-titled, double platinum debut album in 2016, where he became the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously. He topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for 13 weeks and earned two of the most-streamed country songs of all time (chart-topping singles diamond-certified “Heaven,” and nine-time platinum “What Ifs”). His 2018 album Experiment hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 all-genre list, becoming the first country artist in more than 24 years to top the chart with a sophomore album. Brown released his multi-song project Mixtape Vol. 1, which earned Brown an ACM Award nomination for Album of the Year in 2021 and an ACM win for Video of the Year.
In 2022, Brown was honored with the Boys & Girls Club’s prestigious Champion of Youth Award in recognition of his commitment to serving young people. It’s an honor that has been bestowed by the organization to outstanding individuals who exemplify a commitment in this area.
Brown will join previously announced 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards honoree Miranda Lambert, who will be presented with the Country Icon Award. Performers and presenters will be revealed in the coming weeks.
The People’s Choice Country Awards will recognize the biggest and best country music, chosen entirely by the fans. Zach Bryan, Beyoncé, Kacey Musgraves, Shaboozey, Kane Brown, Morgan Wallen, and Luke Combs lead the nominations. Voting is open and runs through Friday, August 23rd at 11:59 pm ET.
