Nominees are based on key fan interactions reflected on the Billboard charts including streaming, album sales, song sales and radio airplay.

Everyone but Steve Lacy was available to welcome the announcement. Past winners of New Artist of the Year have been Doja Cat, Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
