Billboard is set to honor Beyoncé with the Billboard Millennium Award at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. The award will “recognize Beyoncé’s career achievements and influence in the music industry from Destiny’s Child to her three-chart-topping solo albums, which have collectively earned her 16 Grammy awards and ASCAP’s Pop Songwriter of the Year award.”
Billboard named Beyoncé its Woman of the Year in October 2009, and Top Female Artist of the Decade in December 2009.
The Millennium Award will be presented to the singer on May 22,.
