The history of iHeartRadio Jingle Ball

iHeartRadio Jingle Ball started in 1996 when New York's Z100 pop music radio channel introduced the ball after Tom Poleman joined the ranks of the station. The inaugural edition was a massive success, featuring an all-women lineup of Sheryl Crow, Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, Jewel, Susanna Hoff, and No Doubt.

Speaking about the event in an exclusive interview with Billboard on December 7, 2018, Tom Poleman elaborated on the conceptualization of the annual Ball, stating:

"So the first Jingle Ball show was validating the station’s return to being a pure hit focused radio station. When No Doubt closed the show that year, I remember sitting behind the stage and feeling all of Madison Square Garden shaking from all the people jumping and screaming. It was a validation pop music was coming back."

The event eventually expanded from its New York origins to include more cities in future editions, with notable places including Minneapolis, Oakland, San Francisco, Boston, Tampa, and more.
