The Beaches will be honored with the Global Force Award at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music gala, taking place April 29 in Los Angeles.
The award recognizes the "Blame Brett" outfit, which hails from Canada, for their international success.
"The Beaches represent exactly the kind of Canadian talent that resonates far beyond our borders," says Billboard Canada and Billboard UK President Mo Ghoneim. "At Billboard Canada, our role is not only to spotlight artists at home, but to help create meaningful pathways onto the global stage. Celebrating them at Billboard Women in Music in the U.S. reflects both their undeniable impact and the growing influence of Canadian artists worldwide."
Other 2026 Billboard Women in Music honorees include Tate McRae, Teyana Taylor and Kehlani.
The Beaches are coming off winning two awards at the 2026 JUNOs, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys.
