It is very nice to receive an award after so many years. Thank you AGATA for caring, counting and rewarding.”

“This is probably the first song that I really enjoy performing on stage. I can not think about anything, just have fun with people, because they really caught that song and when we sing encores, like “back” vocalists sing along. The first and most sincere “thank you” goes to all the listeners,” Augustė Nombeko said during the ceremony. She thanked fellow musicians and the association AGATA, which takes care of the rights of performers and music publishers.
Jessica Shy was also appreciated for the singles “Akkabink”, “Shokam Lętai” and the single “August” recorded with Justin Jaručius. At the event, the musicians gave their best wishes to Jessica Shy, who will receive the awards for the Gold and Platinum singles upon her return from Eurovision.
Gold, Platinum and Diamond awards are given for the music releases of Lithuanian artists that have received the most auditions. Until now, Gold, Platinum and Diamond discs were awarded to the most listened to albums. For the first time, this rating was reserved for singles with a million streams.
“According to public research, Lithuania is the country of YouTube, because mostly Lithuanian music is listened to on this platform. However, until now, we have not been able to get accurate audition information from this platform, and we cannot ignore its data. We have been working hard all year to find a way to include YouTube information in the overall statistics. We are happy to have found a way to do this and to be able to present objective, accurate and factual information about what the people of Lithuania listen to the most,” said AGATA director Agnė Begetė.
This summer, it is intended to reward the albums of Lithuanian artists that have received the most listenings and sales.
