Congratulations to our winners, Midnight Til Morning, Louis Tomlinson, V & Park Hyo Shin, Jin and Number_i. Thank to our listeners for voting!


The Channel R Radio Awards return for their 6th year in 2025, celebrating the best artists and music across seven electrifying categories.

This year we’ve added Best Music Video, and Best New Artist is now Best Breakthrough Artist — recognizing artists who made a major impact or reached new heights in 2025, whether through their first big hit, a viral breakout, or a career-defining comeback.

Last year’s highlights: Perrie won Best New Artist; j-hope, Gaeko & YOON MIRAE won Best Collaboration for “Neuron”; Louis Tomlinson’s LIVE won Best Album; Liam Payne’s “Teardrops” won Best Song (posthumously); Jimin was Best Solo Artist; and TOMORROW X TOGETHER won Best Group. See the full 2024 winners below.

Who will win this year? Nominate your favorite artists and music from 2025 through November 15. The top five in each category move to head-to-head voting starting November 16.
