The
BRIT Awards
(often simply called the
BRITs
) are the
British Phonographic Industry
's annual
popular music
awards. The name was originally a shortened form of "British", "Britain", or "Britannia" (in the early days the awards were sponsored by
Britannia Music Club
), but subsequently became a
backronym
for
British Record Industry Trusts Show
.
[2]
The awards were first held in 1977 and originated as an annual event in 1982 under the auspices of the British record industry's trade association, the
BPI
. In 1989, they were renamed The BRIT Awards.
[3]
Mastercard
has been the long-term sponsor of the event.
[4]
In addition, an equivalent awards ceremony for classical music, called the
Classic BRIT Awards
, was held annually between 2000 and 2013, before being revived in 2018 but has not been held since.
The highest profile music awards ceremony in the UK, the BRIT Awards have featured some of the most notable events in British popular culture, such as the final public appearance of
Freddie Mercury
, the
Jarvis Cocker
protest against
Michael Jackson
, the height of a
high-profile feud
between
Oasis
and fellow
Britpop
band
Blur
, the
Union Jack dress
worn by
Geri Halliwell
of the
Spice Girls
, and a
Chumbawamba
member throwing a bucket of iced water over then-Deputy Prime Minister
John Prescott
.
[5]
[6]
[7]
[8]
These moments took place in the 1990s when the ceremony had a reputation for being "a little shambolic, unpredictable and, at times, anarchic" with a criticism it has lost its edge since then and "evolved into a more polished, sanitised affair."
[9]
The BRIT Awards were broadcast live until 1989, when
Samantha Fox
and
Mick Fleetwood
hosted a widely criticised show in which little went as rehearsed.
[10]
From 1990 to 2006, the event was recorded and broadcast the following night. From 2007, The BRIT Awards reverted to a live broadcast on British television, on 14 February on
ITV
.
[10]
That year, comedian
Russell Brand
was the host and three awards were dropped from the ceremony:
British Rock Act
,
British Urban Act
and
British Pop Act
.
[10]
For the last time, on 16 February 2010,
Earls Court
in London was the venue for The BRITs. The BRIT Awards were held at
the O
2
Arena
in London for the first time in 2011.
[11]
The BRIT Award statuette given to the winners features
Britannia
, the female personification of Britain. Since 2011, the statuette has been regularly redesigned by well known British artists, architects, and designers including
Vivienne Westwood
,
[12]
Damien Hirst
,
[13]
Tracey Emin
,
[14]
Peter Blake
,
[15]
Zaha Hadid
,
[16]
Anish Kapoor
,

David Adjaye
,
[18]
Yinka Ilori
and
Es Devlin
,
[19]
Pam Hogg
,
[20]
Olaolu Slawn
[21]
and
Rachel Jones
.
[22]
In 1992,
KLF
opened the show and invited extreme metal band
Extreme Noise Terror
on stage, complete with flame-throwers, and fired machine gun blanks over the crowd. The group sent a dead sheep to the aftershow party, and later buried their BRIT Award statuette at
Stonehenge
signifying their abhorrence of the music industry.
[9]
Robbie Williams
holds the record for the most BRIT Awards, 13 as a solo artist and another five as part of
Take That
.
[23]
Girl group
Little Mix
made history at the
Brit Awards 2021
, when they became the first female group to receive the award at the ceremony after 43 years since it was first introduced.
[24]
In 2024, English singer-songwriter
Raye
, broke the record for the most nominations received by a single artist in a year with seven in total.

Notable moments
[
edit
]
Electricians' strike (1987)
[
edit
]
In 1987 the BPI Awards ceremony was held in the Great Room at the
Grosvenor House Hotel
. At the time there was a BBC electricians' strike in effect, and the organisers decided to use a non-TV events production company, called Upfront, to manage the show. Despite the show being picketed, the event was transmitted as intended. For a while, the outdoor broadcast scanner was rocked on its wheels by the protesters and they managed to shut off the power to one of the big GE video screen projectors. Upfront was then asked to organise the following year and persuaded the BPI to move the event to a larger venue, starting the trend that continues to this day, albeit at The O2, and with a different production company (MJK Productions).
Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood (1989)
[
edit
]
In 1989, the ceremony was broadcast live and presented by
Fleetwood Mac
's
Mick Fleetwood
and singer
Samantha Fox
. The inexperience of the hosts, an ineffective autocue, and little preparation combined to create an unprofessional show that was poorly received.
[26]
The hosts continually got their lines mixed up, a pre-recorded message from
Michael Jackson
was never transmitted and several guest stars arrived late on stage or at the wrong time, such as
Boy George
in place of
The Four Tops
.
Andy Bell and Boy George embrace (1989)
[
edit
]
In accepting the award for
British Group
from Boy George at the 1989 awards,
Andy Bell
of
Erasure
kissed George on stage to cheers from the crowd, with Bell stating it was an act in protest against
Section 28
introduced by
Margaret Thatcher
's
Conservative government
that prohibited the "promotion" of homosexuality in schools.
[26]
Freddie Mercury's final public appearance (1990)
[
edit
]
The 1990 awards ceremony saw the last public appearance of
Queen
frontman
Freddie Mercury
.
[27]
Queen appeared at the ceremony to receive the
Outstanding Contribution to Music
.
[27]
[28]
Mercury (who had been suffering from AIDS since 1987 but had not disclosed it to the public) did not make a speech, as
Brian May
did the talking on behalf of the other members, but his gaunt appearance was noticeable.
[29]
The KLF (1992)
[
edit
]
In 1992, dance/art band
The KLF
was awarded Best British Group (shared with
Simply Red
) and were booked to open the show. In an attempt to hijack the event, the duo collaborated with
grindcore metal
band
Extreme Noise Terror
to perform a
death metal version of the dance song
"
3 a.m. Eternal
", a performance that prompted conductor
Sir Georg Solti
to walk out in disgust.
[30]
The performance ended with
Bill Drummond
firing blanks from a vintage machine gun over the audience and KLF publicist/announcer
Scott Piering
stating "
Ladies and gentlemen, The KLF have now left the music business
".
[31]
Producers of the show then refused to let a motorcycle courier collect the award on behalf of the band.
[32]
Later that evening, the KLF dumped a dead sheep outside the venue of an after-show party,
[31]
[32]
whilst their Brit Award was reportedly found buried in a field near
Stonehenge
in 1993.
[9]
Michael Jackson and Jarvis Cocker (1996)
[
edit
]
In 1996,
Michael Jackson
was given a special Artist of a Generation award. At the ceremony he accompanied his single "
Earth Song
" with a stage show, culminating with Jackson as a 'Christ-like figure' surrounded by children.
Jarvis Cocker
, of the band
Pulp
, mounted the stage in what he would later claim as a protest at this portion of the performance.
[26]
Cocker ran across the stage, lifting his shirt and pointing his (clothed) backside in Jackson's direction. Cocker was subsequently questioned by the police but was told he would not be prosecuted.
[26]
Regarding his actions, Cocker said, "My actions were a form of protest at the way Michael Jackson sees himself as some kind of Christ-like figure with the power of healing. I just ran on the stage. I didn't make any contact with anyone as far as I recall."
[33]
Oasis and Blur rivalry (1996)
[
edit
]
1996 saw the height of a well-documented feud between
Britpop
bands
Oasis
and
Blur
. The differing styles of the bands, coupled with their prominence within the Britpop movement, led the British media to seize upon the rivalry between the bands.
[34]
Both factions played along, with the Gallaghers taunting Blur at the 1996 BRIT Awards by singing a rendition of "
Parklife
" when they collected their award for Best British Group (with
Liam Gallagher
changing the lyrics to "Shite-life" and
Noel Gallagher
changing them to "
Marmite
").
[9]
Chumbawamba and John Prescott (1998)
[
edit
]
"There's no denying they're a lot slicker, a lot tamer now than they were in their '80s and '90s heyday. Will we ever see another stage invasion, a
politician getting a soaking
, or one of the country's biggest stars offering another out for a fight? Probably not."
?Gemma Peplow, entertainment reporter for
Sky News
,
Brit Awards 2021: From Geri to Jarvis ? the biggest moments in show's history
.
[26]
In 1998,
Danbert Nobacon
of the politically active band
Chumbawamba
threw a bucket of iced water over then-
Deputy Prime Minister
John Prescott
. Despite apologies on behalf of the band from EMI Europe, Chumbawamba were unrepentant, saying, "If John Prescott has the nerve to turn up at events like the Brit Awards in a vain attempt to make Labour seem cool and trendy, then he deserves all we can throw at him."
[35]
Russell Brand (2007)
[
edit
]
Some controversy was caused by the host of the 2007 awards ceremony, comedian
Russell Brand
, who made several quips relating to news stories of the time including
Robbie Williams
entering
rehab
for addiction to
prescription drugs
, the Queen's 'naughty bits' and a fatal
friendly fire incident
involving a British soldier killed by American armed forces in Iraq.
ITV
received over 300 complaint calls from viewers.
[36]
He would again instigate controversy the following year at the
2008 MTV Video Music Awards
.
Adele speech cut short (2012)
[
edit
]
Adele
won the
British Album of the Year
widely regarded as the most coveted award. Less than half a minute into her acceptance speech, host
James Corden
was forced to cut Adele off in order to introduce
Blur
who were due to perform an eleven-minute set as they had received the Outstanding Contribution to Music and the ceremony was running over its allotted time.
[37]
Adele was visibly annoyed and proceeded to raise her middle finger
[38]
and the producers of the show came under fire on Twitter for the decision.
[39]
Following the incident Adele said "I got cut off during my speech for Best Album and I flung the middle finger. But that finger was to the suits at The BRIT Awards, not to my fans".
[40]
Adele received an apology from the show's organisers, who stated; "We send our deepest apologies to Adele that her big moment was cut short. We don't want this to undermine her incredible achievement in winning our night's biggest award. It tops off what's been an incredible year for her."
[41]
Due to the tight schedule, only three of the five songs Blur played were broadcast on
ITV
.
Alex Turner speech (2014)
[
edit
]
On 2014
Arctic Monkeys
won the
British Album of the Year
. When the band got up on stage to receive the award, lead singer
Alex Turner
, started his speech by testing the mic and then talked about the cyclical nature of rock music, saying that even if its popularity declines it will never die as a music genre, while the rest of the band laughed in the background. He ended the speech by saying, "Invoice me for the microphone if you need to",
dropped it to the ground
, and left the stage.
[42]
That night they became the first act to win both British Album and British Group three times.
[43]
The speech divided both press and audience, being labeled as both "pretentious twaddle" and a sincere defence of the genre,
[44]
[45]
as well as garnering reactions from other musicians, with
Johnny Marr
saying it was "quite poetic".
[46]
When asked a few days later, Turner said, "In public, I'm a quiet guy, so doing anything in front of lots of people always makes me nervous. I'm known for my music, not how well I deliver a speech. People always assume if you're in a band that's been on the scene for ages that you're going to be really confident, but that's not true at all."
[47]
In a 2016 interview with
Rolling Stone
, he re-addressed the speech, "A lot of people thought I was waffling away on drugs, but I wasn't. I just can't pretend getting an award was something I've dreamed about since I was a kid, because it isn't."
[48]
In 2022 when an interviewer implied the speech was akin to performance art, Turner seemed to agree.
[49]
Wet Leg
's singer Rhian Teasdale quoted part of Turner's speech, during the
2023 ceremony
, as the band won
New Artist
.
[50]
David Bowie enters Scottish independence debate (2014)
[
edit
]
At 67 years of age, the influential musician
David Bowie
became the oldest recipient of now defunct
British Male Solo Artist
.
[51]
Bowie used his acceptance speech, delivered in his absence by
Kate Moss
, to urge
Scotland
to remain part of the UK in the September
2014 Scottish independence referendum
. His speech read: "I'm completely delighted to have a Brit for being the best male ? but I am, aren't I Kate? Yes. I think it's a great way to end the day. Thank you very, very much and Scotland stay with us."
[52]
Bowie's unusual intervention in British politics garnered a significant reaction throughout the UK on social media.
[51]
[53]
Little Mix Best British Group win and speech (2021)
[
edit
]
In 2021,
Little Mix
's win for British Group marked the first time that a girl group had won that award since it was first introduced in 1977.
[54]
The group used their acceptance speech to call out white male dominance, misogyny, sexism and lack of diversity in the industry. Fellow group member
Leigh-Anne Pinnock
stated "It's not easy being a female in the UK pop industry. We've all seen the white male dominance, misogyny, sexism, and lack of diversity. We're proud of how we've stuck together, stood for our group, surrounded ourselves with strong women, and are now using our voices more than ever."
Little Mix also called out the awards ceremony for the lack of nominations and wins for female groups in the category while paying homage to previous "female bands" including the
Spice Girls
,
Sugababes
,
All Saints
, and
Girls Aloud
etc, who all had made significant contributions to pop culture in the UK but were overlooked by the Brit Awards.
[54]
[55]
Raye sets a new record (2024)
[
edit
]
At the
Brit Awards 2024
, English singer-songwriter
Raye
received seven nominations, making her the most nominated artist in a single year breaking a record held by Gorillaz, Craig David and Robbie Williams.
[56]
Furthermore, she broke the record for the most wins received in a single night with six in total.
[57]
Notable performances
[
edit
]
Spice Girls' performance of "Wannabe" and "Who Do You Think You Are" (1997)
[
edit
]
Ginger Spice,
Geri Halliwell
, wore a
Union Jack dress
.
[7]
[58]
[59]
[60]
Spicemania was at its height in the UK and the
Spice Girls
had just cracked the US as well, reaching Number 1 with their debut single and album.
Halliwell was originally going to wear an all-black dress, but she thought it was too boring so her sister sewed on a
Union Jack
tea towel
, with a 'peace' sign on the back. The now iconic red, white and blue mini-dress was worn during the Spice Girls' performance of their Number 1 song "
Who Do You Think You Are
".
[61]
In 1998 she sold her dress in a charity auction to Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas for a record £41,320, giving Halliwell the Guinness World Record for the most expensive piece of pop star clothing ever sold.
[62]
This performance won the Spice Girls the award for "BRITs Hits 30 ? Best Live Performance at The BRIT Awards" at the
2010 BRIT Awards
, with
Samantha Fox
presenting the award to Geri Halliwell and
Mel B
.
[63]
Geri Halliwell's performance of "Bag It Up" (2000)
[
edit
]
Three years following the iconic
Spice Girls
performance, Halliwell, now a solo artist, performed her new single "
Bag It Up
" at the
2000 BRIT Awards
. The performance featured Halliwell emerging, whilst dancing on with a pole, from a pair of large inflatable female legs. As the performance continued, her male backing dancers stripped to their pink briefs whilst dancing with the Union Jack flag. It is widely believed that Halliwell lip-synced her performance. In addition to all this, the performance is famous for being performed on the same night that the Spice Girls received the award for
Outstanding Contribution to Music
, which Halliwell declined to accept with her former bandmates.
Gorillaz's performance of "Clint Eastwood" (2002)
[
edit
]
When it was announced that past Brit Award recipient
Damon Albarn
, and his project
Gorillaz
, would be taking the stage at the 2002 Brit Awards, no one knew what to expect. The four cartoon members of the band performed the song on giant life size screens (an early version of a 3D
hologram
) without the
Blur
frontman being present at all.
[64]
The band performed their hit single "
Clint Eastwood
" alongside UK underground rap group
Phi Life Cypher
and a group of silhouetted female dancers mimicking the zombies from the band's music video.
[64]
The performance received rapturous cheers and applause.
[65]
Girls Aloud's performance of "The Promise" (2009)
[
edit
]
English-Irish girl group
Girls Aloud
marked their first ever performance at the 2009 ceremony, by performing their single "
The Promise
". The performance saw the members,
Cheryl Cole
,
Kimberley Walsh
,
Sarah Harding
,
Nicola Roberts
and
Nadine Coyle
appear as though they were naked, with their
modesty being covered by pink feather fans
. This performance was nominated in the 2010 ceremony for the "BRITs Hits 30 ? Best Live Performance at The BRIT Awards", alongside
Oasis
and
The Who
, which the
Spice Girls
eventually went on to win.
[63]
Adele's performance of "Someone like You" (2011)
[
edit
]
Adele
performed her song "
Someone like You
" at the 2011 BRITs with only a piano accompanying her. Her emotional performance was received with a standing ovation at
the O2 Arena
and the video has received 187 million views so far on YouTube. The performance launched "Someone Like You" 46 spots up the UK charts to Number 1, and in the process, made Adele the first artist in the UK since
The Beatles
to have two top five singles and two top five albums at the same time. The performance had all lights down and focused on Adele and her piano.
[59]
Madonna's performance of "Living for Love" (2015)
[
edit
]
Madonna
's live return to BRIT Awards after 20 years was widely promoted in the media in the days leading up to the ceremony and during the show itself.
[66]
During the performance of "
Living for Love
", she walked onstage wearing an oversized cape. When standing on stairs situated on the stage, the cape's cord failed to separate, so when Madonna's backing dancer pulled the cape behind her, she fell down the stairs and noticeably hit the stage hard.
[67]
She paused momentarily as her backing music continued, before she managed to separate herself from the cape and then continued performing.
[68]
In an interview on
The Jonathan Ross Show
, Madonna blamed her fall on a
wardrobe malfunction
as her cape had been tied too tightly so it could not be unfastened in time, before adding: "I had a little bit of whiplash, I smacked the back of my head. And I had a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3am to make sure I was compos mentis. I know how to fall, I have fallen off my horse many times."
[58]
[59]
[67]
Katy Perry and Skip Marley's performance of "Chained to the Rhythm" (2017)
[
edit
]
In the leadup to the
2016 U.S. presidential election
,
Katy Perry
was a major endorsement for Democratic candidate
Hillary Clinton
, performing at many of her rallies and speaking at public events. After
Donald Trump
won the election, Perry returned to recording her fifth studio album and in February 2017 released "
Chained to the Rhythm
". During the performance, she was joined onstage by two large skeletal puppets dressed as Trump and British Prime Minister
Theresa May
.
[69]
The performance was also notable as a backing dancer fell offstage at the end of the performance whilst wearing a house costume.
