IGGY AZALEA Iggy Azalea is a Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum selling Australian musician who has become one of the most accom- plished artists in music history. Her 2014 de- but album The New Classic —which debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, a first for an international female artist—spawned a US chart-topping trifecta of worldwide number-one multi-platinum smash hits: “Fancy” (featuring Charli XCX, eight-times platinum); “Black Widow” (featuring Rita Ora, four-times platinum); and “Problem” (collaboration with Ariana Grande, six-times platinum). “Fancy” was the longest leading Hot 100–topping hit by a female rapper in the chart’s history, Billboard ’s 2014 Song of the Summer, iTunes’ Best Song of 2014, the year’s most streamed song on Spotify, and the most watched music video on Vevo. While “Fan- cy” was still residing atop the Hot 100, “Prob- lem”—Azalea’s collab with Ariana Grande— took the chart position right behind it. In that moment, she made chart history again, this time as the first artist since The Beatles to punch in at numbers one and two simulta- neously with their first two Hot 100 hits. Aza- lea’s videos have amassed over three billion views to date, and last summer she released her highly anticipated third studio album, The End of an Era . Iggy Azalea is making her Ravinia debut.
