The 2021 ASCAP Pop Music Awards recognize the songwriters and publishers of the most performed songs of the past year in pop music. Providing a look at the music creators behind 2020’s biggest hits, ASCAP will premiere exclusive winner video acceptance speeches, virtual studio tours, stories behind the songs and more on ASCAP social media platforms. Starting at 10 AM ET on April 13-15, friends, fans and peers can tune in to the festivities via ASCAP on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, using the hashtag #ASCAPAwards.
