Behold the Apple Music Award: Built from the same laser-cut silicon wafers that power Apple's microprocessors, it's a unique token of appreciation for the artists whose work upended convention and dominated the conversation all year. #AppleMusicAwards2019 https://t.co/9OZK3rOkcS pic.twitter.com/qQ2bwq0r1z

The 17-year-old singer was named Global Artist of the Year, and split the Songwriter of the Year title with her brother, Finneas. Breakthrough Artist of the Year was awarded to Lizzo. Each of these awards were hand-selected by Apple Music’s global editorial team.

Meanwhile, the awards for Album of the Year (WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? by Billie Eilish) and Song of the Year (Lil Nas X for "Old Town Road") were awarded according to streaming data based on what Apple Music customers have been listening to in the last year.
