Record-breaking heat and new albums have been the talk of the red carpet at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles.

American music stars have been walking the red carpet in temperatures reaching the high 20's.

Musician Adam lambert is one of those who admits he should have adjusted his wardrobe.

"I decided to wear leather pants to stay cool today. I don't know what I was thinking. I was thinking fashion, not comfort. Kind of the story of my life."

There is a lot of anticipation about Lambert's new single "Ghost Town," which is his first project in nearly 2-years.

"The full album is called 'Original High.' It comes out this summer. It's definitely upbeat. It's pop, it's electronic, it's house. There's a little R and B flavor on there."

This year marks the second edition of the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The first event last year was considered a huge success, with many of music's top artists turning out for the event.
