2017 iHeart Radio Awards (Winners Inside)


Last night the 2017 iHeartRadio Awards went down at The Forum in Inglewood, California and was hosted by Ryan Seacrest. Drake was the man of the evening as he received both the most nominations (15) and most wins (7), followed by The Chainsmokers. It seems like mixups are becoming an award show tradition however Before the award show aired Sunday, iHeartRadio announced that Zayn Malik had won Best Music Video for “Pillowtalk" and even accepted via Snapchat. Unfortunately, Zayn was not the true winner ― Fifth Harmony was. Other than that the night seemed to have gone of flawlessly with performances from Big Sean, Bruno Mars and more. See the full list of winners below.
