\n\t\u201cAll of the women in this room,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0so honored to be in your presence. To be representing Canada on a global stage like this is not only an honor, but a dream come true to four Canadian girls,\u201d Jordan Miller said at the podium, alongside bandmates, Kylie Miller, Leandra Earl, and Eliza Enman-McDaniel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re lucky to have organizations like FACTOR and Billboard to help us along the way, so thank you so much. Finally, to all the women who have helped us get here in our 13-year career, rock music is a particularly male dominated genre,\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0know if\u00a0you guys\u00a0know that, and\u00a0we\u2019ll\u00a0never forget\u00a0all of\u00a0your help and guidance.\u00a0I think women\u00a0are easily overlooked and seen as underdogs, but the reality is that we make some of the coolest art ever and are at the forefront of defining culture at this moment in time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier in the evening, the group took to the red carpet and spoke with Billboard about winning the Global Force Award presented by FACTOR. \u201cWe\u2019re so honored and humbled to be here,\u201d Miller told Billboard\u2019s Lyndsey Havens and special co-host Drew\u00a0Afualo. \u201cThis is our first, sort of, American award show, so this really feels really incredibly humbling and, especially, to be here with so many incredibly talented women, it\u2019s a dream come true.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe victory comes just a few weeks after the band\u2019s high-energy set at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0just one of the many benchmarks for the foursome in recent years after scoring multiple placements on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts and the U.S. Airplay charts.\u00a0They\u2019ve\u00a0also toured vigorously, building their audiences across North America,\u00a0Europe\u00a0and Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Beaches represent exactly the kind of Canadian talent that resonates far beyond our borders,\u201d says Mo Ghoneim, President of Billboard Canada and Billboard UK. \u201cAt 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHosted by Keke Palmer, Billboard Women in Music 2026 also celebrated fellow Canadian Tate McRae, who received 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), Thalia (Icon Award) and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
