The wafers start as a perfect 12-inch disc of silicon with nanometer level flatness. Copper layers are deposited and patterned by ultraviolet lithography to create connections between billions of transistors. The result of this multi-month process, before it is sliced into hundreds of individual chips, is stunning and distinctive. In a symbolic gesture, the same chips which power the devices that put the world’s music at your fingertips sit at the very heart of the ‌Apple Music‌ Awards.

Billie Eilish, whose full-length debut album WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? is the most streamed album of year award winner and Eilish herself the Songwriter of the Year, will kick off The Apple Music Awards.



Additionally, the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award will be presented to Lizzo, while the Song of the Year award will go to Lil Nas X, for the track "Old Town Road."



This ‌Apple Music‌ Awards will be streamed live globally on Wednesday, December 4 at 6:30 p.m. PST.
