In a letter to the Jamaican crooner dated, April 13, 2017, Paul Williams, President of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) said, "I am pleased to inform you that you will be honored at the 34th annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards on Thursday May 18th at The Wiltern in Los Angeles for 'Work' (recorded by Rihanna) , which was among the most performed ASCAP pop songs of 2016."

The song was also a #1 song in Canada, Brazil, Denmark, France, Netherlands and the top five of the charts in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Germany.

"I have achieved a lot since I started singing over 40 years ago but this is the first time I am being recognized with a pop award. This is a major award and ranks among my biggest accomplishment to date" the elated singer noted.

"I would like to thanks God for blessing me with this awesome talent. I thank ASCAP for this major international recognition. I must also thank Rihanna, Drake, Boi-1da and everyone who worked on the project; my fans; Jamaica land we love and most importantly my family for their unconditional support over the years."

Stephens is schedule to depart Kingston, for Los Angeles, CA in early May to attend the exclusive, invitation-only gala that celebrates the songwriters and publishers of ASCAP's most performed pop songs of the year.
