The Beaches to Receive Global Force Award at Billboard Women in Music 2026

The Beaches are getting a big recognition for their global breakthrough. The past three years have taken them  from viral TikTok success to the charts, festivals and arena concerts. Now, they’ll be celebrated amongst the most inspiring women of the global music industry at Billboard Women in Music 2006. 

The Toronto-based band will receive the Global Force Award presented by FACTOR at this year’s ceremony in Los Angeles, making them the first band to receive the accolade. The celebration takes place on April 29 at the Hollywood Palladium. 

    It was less than a year ago that The Beaches made history in their home country of Canada, becoming the first-ever Women of the Year recipients at the second edition of Billboard Canada Women in Music in 2025. Typically, an award presented to an individual, The Beaches — comprised of sisters Jordan (lead vocals, bass) and Kylie Miller (guitar), Leandra Earl (guitar, keys) and Eliza Enman-McDaniel (drums) — took home the prize as a group. They were surprised at the ceremony by video tributes from Elton John, Kid Cudi, Greta Van Fleet and more.

    Now, the quartet are representing Canada on an international level, and will be honored alongside a star-studded group of female artists and women in the music industry. 

    “The Beaches represent exactly the kind of Canadian talent that resonates far beyond our borders,” says Mo Ghoneim, President of Billboard Canada and Billboard UK. “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.”

    Hosted by Keke Palmer, the 2026 event will celebrate fellow Canadian Tate McRae, who is set to receive the Hitmaker Award, as well as Teyana Taylor (Visionary Award), Ella Langley (Powerhouse Award), Kehlani (Impact Award), Laufey (Innovator Award), Mariah the Scientist (Rising Star Award presented by Honda Stage), Zara Larsson (Breakthrough Award) and Thalia (Icon Award). 

    Last year’s Global Force winner was JENNIE, a member of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, who has made waves as a solo artist.

    The Global Force Award is a clear indication of The Beaches’success on a global front. The band went viral in 2023 with their messy-in-all-the-right-ways breakup anthem “Blame Brett,” but their journey started even earlier. Playing since they were teenagers, the band has been through the industry, from family TV to major label, and have redefined themselves as funny and relatable cool girls who have found their audience on an independent level. 

    “We finally understood exactly who we were,” said Enman-McDaniel in a Billboard Canada cover story last year. “No one was trying to change anything about us. Instead it was like, ‘let’s take this element of who you guys are and amplify it. Let’s not change you, but make you more accessible to other girls and young queer people who can relate to you.’ It changed our entire trajectory.” 

    Now, The Beaches have had multiple placements on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts and the U.S. Airplay charts. They’ve toured vigorously, building their audiences across North America, Europe and Australia, including playing major festivals like Coachella. 

    Last August, they released their third studio album, No Hard Feelings, further cementing the group’s star power. The project peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. Its lead single “Last Girls at the Party” spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Canada Modern Rock Airplay chart, an important metric in Canada, where radio plays an essential role for homegrown artists’ success. That fall, they embarked on multiple sold-out shows across the globe and have continued upwards. Last year, they played their first arena concert in their hometown of Toronto at Scotiabank Arena.

    “The Beaches have been an amazing Canadian success story,” says Richard Trapunski, National Editor of Billboard Canada. “They’re authentic, hard-working, relatable and fun – and they’ve done it all without sacrificing their values or personalities. Watching them explode onto the global stage has been so fun to watch, and it fills me with pride to see them earn the Global Force Award.”

    Earlier this week, the quartet took the stage at this year’s Juno Awards, performing “Lesbian of the Year” and winning the Group of the Year title for the third year in a row, as well as Rock Album of the Year for the second time.

    The success of The Beaches is, in part, a representation of the diverse fanbase they’ve cultivated. While it’s mostly young, female and increasingly queer audiences, the universal relatability of their music easily expands to anyone, from any part of the world.
