The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) has announced the winners of its 2024 ASCAP Pop Music Awards.

Olivia Rodrigo and co-writer Daniel Nigro dominated the charts last year with “vampire” and “bad idea right?”, claiming the ASCAP Pop Music Songwriters of the Year distinction. This is the second win for Olivia Rodrigo, who first scored the honor in 2022.

British avant-pop and electric sensation Charli XCX receives the ASCAP Global Impact Award for the worldwide popularity of her music. Charli is gearing up for the release of her sixth studio album, BRAT on June 7 and a North American tour with Troye Sivan.
