Billboard recognizes the past, present, and future next Friday October 24th. Deborah Harry (of Blondie fame), Ciara, and newcomer Colbie Caillat are the "Women of the year."
Harry will be honored with the Icon award, given to a woman whose art and career have blazed trails for successive generations
Ciara will receive the Woman of the Year award, which recognizes success as a recording artist and leadership in embracing the changing music business.
Caillat, who broke through last year with her debut album, "CoCo," will receive the Rising Star award, acknowledging early success and greatest potential among artists who have released two or fewer albums.
