The World Music Awards are an annual international awards ceremony since 1989 that honors recording artists from all over the world based on sales figures provided by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). The awards show is conducted under the patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert of Monaco, Monte-Carlo.
The show is broadcast to North and South America, all of Europe, the Middle East, Japan and South East Asia, all of China, some other parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and all of Africa, reaching an estimated worldwide audience of around one billion viewers, in over 160 countries.
The regional awards, as many of the other awards, are not awarded standard annually, but when it is believed that the artist has sold a notable amount of records in his or her respective category or genre. Rouvas was only the third Greek artist living and working in Greece to ever receive the award in its history, being awarded after Despina Vandi and Haris Alexiou respectively. He became the first and to date only male working in Greece to receive this award, as well as the most recent recipient.
