The TIM Music Awards, known between 2007–2013 and 2015–2018 as Wind Music Awards, in 2014 as simply Music Awards, and between 2019 and 2021 as SEAT Music Awards, are non-competitive music awards honoring Italian music artists who have sold a certain number of copies of an album, digital song, or music DVD over the previous year in Italy, as certified by the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana.[1][2] The awards are organized by Milan-based agency Friends & Partners,[3] and held since 2007 as a replacement of the canceled Italian Music Awards (2001–2003).
Their previous name was dependent on the sponsorship of Italian phone company Wind.[1] In 2014 they were officially known as just Music Awards while between 2019 and 2021 they have been sponsored by SEAT. From 2022 it is sponsored by TIM.
