THANK YOU JOHN, THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

YOU ARE LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SINGER/ENTERTAINERS

THAT HAS EVER EXISTED. THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

ALL MY LOVE TO YOU AND CHRISSY NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER SPECIAL

MOMENT ON THE BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS

LET'S HEAD TO ATLANTA AND WELCOME MAYOR KEISHA LANCE

BOTTOMS. THANK YOU, KELLY.

I'M THRILLED THAT THIS IMPORTANT MOMENT OF BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS

IS BEING HELD AT ATLANTA'S APEX MUSEUM OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN

HISTORY. NOW WE ARE ALL AWARE THAT THESE

ARE HARD TIMES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AMERICANS

ARE LIVING WITH THE IMPACT OF COVID-19, ECONOMIC HARDSHIP, AND

THE CRUSHING PAIN OF SYSTEMIC RACISM

IT IS IN THESE MOMENTS THAT WE LOOK FOR LEADERS WHO WILL NOT

JUST TALK THE TALK, BUT WALK THE WALK

WHO WILL ANSWER THE CALL WHO WILL RISE UP AND FIGHT FOR

THE CHANGE WE NEED AND IT IS IN LIGHT OF THIS

ESPECIALLY CHALLENGING YEAR THAT, FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE ARE

HONORING JUST SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL

ONE WHO WILL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS THE INAUGURAL BILLBOARD CHANGE

MAKER. IT IS THE FIRST WHAT WAS WILL BE

AN ANNUAL TRIBUTE IN THIS SHOW, WHERE WE SHINE THE SPOTLIGHT ON

A PERSON OF COURAGE, A CHANGE MAKER WHO NOT ONLY IS A FORCE IN

THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, BUT WHO HAS SHIFTED THE CULTURE BEYOND THE

STAGE. OUR INAUGURAL RECIPIENT IS A

HIP-HOP ICON, AN ENTREPRENEUR, AND ACTIVIST WHO IS A POWERFUL

VOICE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HOW KILLER

MIKE'S DEDICATION AND ADVOCACY IN HIS ART HAVE CREATED

MEANINGFUL CHANGE. SOME ARTISTS FIND A FREQUENCY

THAT REACHES FAR AND WIDE, WHERE PURPOSE AND SERVICE TO THE

GREATER GOOD COME TOGETHER. THERE'S A SENEGALESE PROVERB

THAT SAYS, THERE CAN BE NO PEACE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.

KILLER MIKE IS ONE OF THOSE ARTISTS.

I'VE HAD TO LEARN SEGREGATIONAL HISTORY.

I'VE HAD TO LET MY OWN CURIOSITY TAKE ME OUT OF THAT HISTORY AND

FIND MYSELF A FRIEND INSTEAD OF CONFRONT.

WITH A CAREER SPANNING TWO DECADES, HE'S ONE HALF OF

HIP-HOP DUO RUN THE JEWEL. KILLER MIKE CONTINUES TO EMERGE

AS A POWERFUL VOICE THAT RESONATES FAR BEYOND HIS

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, ROOTS. WHAT'S THE ONE THING I WANT

YOU TO KNOW? HE IS A CHAMPION FOR ECONOMIC

INDEPENDENCE, AS AN INVESTOR FOR BLACK FINANCE NEO BANK

GREENWOOD, ENTREPRENEUR, AND ADVOCATE FOR FINANCIAL LITERACY.

HIS PERSPECTIVE IS FIERCELY PROTECTIVE OF HIS COMMUNITY.

I'M DUTY BOUND TO BE HERE TO SAY, IT IS YOUR DUTY TO PLOT,

PLAN, STRATEGIZE, ORGANIZE, AND MOBILIZE

AS FOR HIS CONTINUED PURSUIT OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, HE IS A

DEFENDER OF VOTING RIGHTS, A SOUND SEEKER FOR CHANGE, AND A

SUPPORTER FOR EDUCATION REFORM. I WANT US TO UNDERSTAND WE

HAVE MORE COMMONALITIES THAN DIFFERENCES.

A DEDICATED FATHER AND HUSBAND WITH THE FULL SUPPORT OF

HIS WIFE SHAYNA, KILLER MIKE'S ACTIONS SPEAK AS LOUD AS HIS

WORDS. ALL OF US DO A LITTLE, AIN'T

NOBODY GOT TO DO A LOT. HE AS LEADER, A CLEAR VOICE

WILLING TO SPREAD AN HONEST MESSAGE, ONE THAT SPEAKS FOR

MAKING TRUE CHANGE FOR THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE.

AND NOW, PLEASE WELCOME THE FIRST-EVER BILLBOARD CHANGE

MAKER, ATLANTA'S OWN KILLER MIKE

THANK YOU, MAYOR BOTTOMS. THANK BILLBOARD.

THE CHANGE MAKER'S AWARD MEANS A LOT TO ME.

THE INAUGURAL WINNER AS BIG RESPONSIBILITY

AS I SAID ON THE NEW ALBUM, "RTJ4," I HAVE A LYRIC ABOUT MY

WIFE FRIENDS TELL HER HE COULD BE

ANOTHER MALCOLM, COULD BE ANOTHER MARTIN

SHE TELLS THEM, I NEED A HUSBAND WHO'S NOT A MARTYR

I WOULD NOT BE HERE IF NOT FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT AND YOUR

CONSTANCE BY MY SIDE I'D PROBABLY BE HANGING OUT AT

THE BLUE FLAME BY MYSELF INSTEAD.

I LOVE YOU VERY APPRMUCH AND I APPRECIATE YOU

THIS IS OUR AWARD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

KIDS OUT THERE THAT SING AND DANCE WHAT YOU DO IS WORTHY.

YOU ARE ARTISTS, AND YOUR GOAL SHOULD BE TO EXPRESS THE VERY

REALITY AROUND YOU IN THE VERY MOST BEAUTIFUL OR UGLY WAYS AS

YOU SEE FIT. KIDS WHO RUN AND DANCE AND SING

AND JUMP AND ALL THAT, ALL THE THINGS THEY TELL YOU DON'T

MATTER, YOU MATTER MORE THAN YOU KNOW

THE KIDS PLOTTING, PLANNING, STRATEGIZING, ON THE GROUND

MOBILIZING, YOU ARE NEEDED MORE THAN EVER.

I'M A CULMINATION OF ALL THESE THINGS

I LIKE TO HONOR MY AN SISTER SOARS, GRANDMOTHER, MOTHER,

ALICE JOHNSON WHO TAUGHT ME TO ORANGE, ALONG WITH REVEREND

JAMES, THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO HAVE HELPED ME ALONG THE

WAY. I'M A PRODUCT OF ATLANTA

I APPRECIATE ATLANTA FOR MAKING, I APPRECIATE THEM FOR CREATING

ME AND POURING INTO ME I APPRECIATE ALL MY TEACHERS AT

FREDERICK DOUGLASS SOOL HIGH SCHOOL

I ENCOURAGE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO PUSHED ME TO BE WHO I AM TODAY

THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS, KILLER MIKE,

ON A WELL-DESERVED HONOR IN ADDITION TO ALL HIS OTHER

ENDEAVORS, KILLER MIKE HAS STARTED GREENWOOD, A DIGITAL

BANKING PLATFORM THAT SUPPORTS BLACK-OWNED BANKS AND BUSINESSES

FOR CONSUMERS. THE BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS AND

NBC ARE DEPOSITING $1 MILLION, WHAT

THAT'S INCREDIBLE. $1 MILLION TO HELP SUPPORT THIS

GREAT INITIATIVE WE LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING,

CHER *

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. ESPECIALLY YOU, TRISHA YEARWOOD.

IT'S AN HONOR FOR ME TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THE BILLBOARD

ICON AWARD TO A TRUE MUSIC LEGEND AND MY FRIEND, GARTH

BROOKS THEICON AWARD WAS CREATED A

DECADE AGO TO HONOR THOSE OUTSTANDING ARTISTS WHO HAVE

ACHIEVED EXCELLENCE IN THE RECORDING STUDIO AND ON THE

CONCERT STAGE. THEIR PASSION FOR MUSIC HAS MADE

THEM LEGENDS IN THEIR OWN TIME AND THAT PERFECTLY DESCRIBES

GARTH. GARTH BROOKS HAS HAD AT LEAST

ONE TOP TEN HIT SINGLE ON A BILLBOARD CHART IN FIVE STRAIGHT

DECADES. KNOWING GUARD, HE'S SET HIS

SIGHTS ON A SIXTH. AND KNOWING TRISH, SHE'S GENTLY,

LOVINGLY PUSHING HIM TO HIS SEVENTH.

WHEN I RECEIVED MY AWARD IN 2017, IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST

HONORS OF MY LIFE AND A MEMORY I'LL NEVER FORGET.

TO KNOW THAT I WAS RECEIVING THE SAME HONOR AS PRINCE AND STEVIE

WONDER JUST ADDED TO THE THRILL OF IT ALL.

AND I KNOW GARTH FEELS THE SAME WAY.

NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE AMAZING CAREER OF GARTH BROOKS

* SINCE HIS DEBUT ALBUM, IT

SEEMS GARTH BROOKS HAS STOOD AT THE VERY TOP OF THE MUSIC WORLD,

BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS, TOPPING THE CHARTS, AND REDEFINING THE

VERY NATURE OF COUNTRY MUSIC, BOTH IN THE STUDIO AND ON STAGE.

ALONG THE WAY, BROOKS TOOK COUNTRY MUSIC FROM THE HEARTLAND

AND BROUGHT IT TO ALL AMERICA AND THEN THE WORLD WITH ALBUMS

AND SINGLES THAT DOMINATED THE CHARTS

19 NUMBER ONE HITS 17 NUMBER ONE ALBUMS

AND NINE NUMBER ONES ON THE BILLBOARD 200 ALBUM CHART.

HE SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN ANY SOLO ARTIST IN THE U.S. AND

BROKE THE RECORD HELD BY THE BEATLES WHEN HE BECAME THE FIRST

ARTIST IN MUSIC HISTORY WITH SEVEN ALBUMS SELLING 10 MILLION

COPIES EACH TO REACH DIAMOND AWARD STATUS

BUT HE DIDN'T STOP THERE BROOKS JUST RECEIVED HIS NINTH

DIAMOND AWARD EARLIER THIS YEAR, GIVING US SONGS THAT SPEAK TO

HEARTACHE, HOPE, LOSS, AND LOVE. ONES THAT SPEAK TO OUR YEARNING

TO BE FREE AND REMINDING US WE ALL HAVE

FRIENDS IN ALL TYPES OF PLACES WITH LIVE PERFORMANCES THAT

MESMERIZE CROWDS ACROSS THE GLOBE, THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN

A COUNTRY STAR ON THE CONCERT STAGE LIKE GARTH

AND HE BRINGS THE HIGHEST ENERGY AND THE LATEST PRODUCTION TO

EVERY PERFORMANCE. FROM DIVE BARS TO STADIUMS, FROM

TELEVISION TO THE INTERNET, HE HAS GONE HIGHER AND HIGHER INTO

THE STRATOSPHERE WHILE NEVER FORGETTING THE PEOPLE HE'S MET

ALONG THE JOURNEY, AND THE ROOTS AND THE PLACES WHERE HE WAS

BORN GARTH BROOKS, AMERICAN ARTIST,

GLOBAL SUPERSTAR, 2020 BILLBOARD MUSIC ICON
