ARN’s iHeartRadio Australia celebrates its 5^th birthday today and to mark the milestone has created the ultimate 5th birthday playlist with a pop-up station of favourite party bangers.
 
Since its launch in 2013 as a free, all-in-one digital music, live radio streaming, podcast and entertainment platform, 1.2 million registered users from Australia have embraced the service.
 
iHeartRadio Australia’s offering includes Australia’s largest podcast library with 1.4 million episodes available to audiences from almost 12,000 contributors globally, live radio from ARN, SBS, ABC, ACE and Fairfax radio networks, and curated genre and seasonal stations including ACRA Award winning Christmas station Elf Radio.
 
The launch of the global iHeartRadio app in Australia last year, gave audiences more ways than ever to customise, explore and discover new music, podcasts and entertainment, and the integration
into Google Home, Amazon Echo and HEOS by Denon home smart speakers has allowed the addition of targeted advertising.
 
Over the past five years iHeartRadio Live performances have showcased Kylie Minogue, Ed Sheeran, Noah Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Halsey, Zara Larsson, Alessia Cara, Rag’n’Bone Man, Culture Club and the unforgettable Bieber Island event with Justin Bieber.
 
Annual competitions have given Aussies the chance to win tickets to the biggest iHeartRadio overseas music events including the annual Jingle Ball, iHeartRadio Music Awards and the iHeartRadio Music Festival which takes place this weekend in Las Vegas.
