Cher's on the radio getting her fair share of awards perhaps (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allotments

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'awards perhaps' is the definition.
(award is a kind of allotment)

'cher's on the radio getting her fair share' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'share' could be 'allot' (I've seen this before) and 'allot' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for allotments that I've seen before include "quotas" , "Cultivated areas" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
