Brit Awards 2024: See who took home the top prizes
(CNN) — The Brit Awards – the top prize in music in the United Kingdom – is unfolding in London on Saturday, and some of the biggest names from pop to rock from around the world are hoping to walk away with a statuette or three.
Posted — UpdatedEnglish singer-songwriter RAYE leads the contenders and has the most nominations ever at the Brits, with seven. Her debut album “My 21st Century Blues” earned high praise last year, and that is reflected in her multiple nods, including artist of the year, album of the year and best new artist, as well as R&B act and pop act. RAYE also already won the songwriter of the year award ahead of the ceremony.
Along with RAYE, the artist of the year nominees include Dua Lipa, Arlo Parks, Jessie Ware, Little Simz and Olivia Dean, marking a significant improvement from last year’s crop of contenders, which didn’t include a singe female-identifying act.
In the best new artist category, RAYE is joined by Mahalia, Olivia Dean, PinkPantheress and Yussef Dayes.
The Brit Awards event, taking place at the O2 Arena in London, is being hosted by Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo. Announced performers set to take the stage include Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue, RAYE, Tate McRae, Jungle and more. Minogue is also set to receive the coveted global icon award.
