Raye Breaks Record: BRIT Awards 2024 Winners
The 44th BRIT Awards went down at London’s O2, March 2, with Raye dominating the night in terms of wins, and Kylie Minogue taking home the Global Icon award. All winners below.
A total of 17 awards were handed out on the night, interspersed with eight performances by Dua Lipa, Raye, Rema, Kylie Minogue, and more. Charli XCX, Green Day, Ben Kingsley-Adir, Joe Keery, and Bimini were among this year’s presenters.
Raye won six out of a possible seven BRIT Awards, including some of the most coveted trophies, with Album of the Year leading the way. She was presented the award by her school principal, Stuart Worden, and brought her grandmother onto the stage during her acceptance speech.
Raye made history for winning the most BRIT wins in one night, surpassing Harry Styles, Adele, and Blur, who had all received four in previous years.
BRIT Award 2024 Nominees: RAYE Sets Record
Dua Lipa took home the Pop Act award, one of five fan-voted awards, adding to her already impressive BRIT Awards collection. She is now the recipient of seven BRIT awards, after winning her first in 2018. Dua Lipa opened the show with her single, “Training Season.”
In a number of category changes, the BRITs extended the number of nominees in the Artist of the Year category from five to ten, and introduced the R&B genre award.
Additional performances came from nominees of the International Song of the Year, Tate McRae, who performed “Greedy,” and Rema, who performed “Calm Down.” The Song of the Year award went to Miley Cyrus for “Flowers,” which also won her first Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance last month.
