Charli XCX Dominates BRIT Awards 2025
Yara Sameh Charli XCX gave the BRIT Awards, the U.K.'s leading music awards ceremony, a Brat makeover on Saturday night by scooping the biggest prizes of the night, including the album of the year prize. The singer-songwriter-producer won four awards at the ceremony: Song of the Year, Dance Act, Artist of the Year, and Album of the Year. She also collected the Honorary Songwriter of the Year prize, while Brat's executive producer A.G. Cook won Producer of the Year. Speaking when she collected the album of the year prize, Charli said: 'I used to tell myself things like this weren't important and that was easy for me to do because until last year I wasn't nominated for anything. I always felt like an outsider in the British music industry, so it feels nice to be recognized on this album when I actually haven't made any sacrifices.' Brat was one of 2024's defining records, landing at No. 1 on the U.K.'s Official Album Charts and at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. It was named the Billboard staff's album of the year. The awards took place at The O2 Arena in London and were hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall for a fifth time. Elsewhere it was a big night for Chappell Roan, who triumphed in the international artist and international song categories, beating off competition from Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Beyoncé. Sabrina Carpenter opened the show with a two-song medley of 'Espresso' and 'Bed Chem' and collected the honorary global success award. Sam Fender had a big night, winning rock/alternative act and performing the title song from People Watching. On Friday, the North Shields-born musician's third album went to No. 1 and clocked the biggest opening week for a British act in three years, topping over 100,000 units. Ezra Collective collected group of the year and shouted out youth clubs and the musical opportunities they offer, while Myles Smith challenged the U.K. government to do more for grassroots venues in his speech while collecting BRITs Rising Star. Baroque-pop group The Last Dinner Party performed 'Nothing Matters' and picked up best new artist. Like Smith, they used their speech to champion the small venues in the U.K. RAYE won best R&B act, and Stormzy shouted out his fellow nominee Central Cee when he triumphed in the best hip-hop/grime/rap. Performances came from Carpenter, Teddy Swims, Ezra Collective, Fender, The Last Dinner Party, JADE, and Lola Young. In December, the BRITs announced Luton-born singer-songwriter Myles Smith as the recipient of the 2025 BRIT Rising Star award — a new music prize that is handed out to the British act that the voting academy believes will make the biggest impact on music in the coming year. He performed his breakout song 'Stargazing' on the night. It was not Dua Lipa's night: She went 0-4. The Cure and Central Cee were also shut out, despite three nominations. The nominees and winners were chosen by the BRIT Awards Voting Academy, its membership made up of musicians and industry figures; the public decided the winners of the genre categories, with voting taking place via a WhatsApp campaign.
