She may have not have been nominated at this year’s Grammys, but her home country was happy to show her some love. Raye absolutely smashed it at the 2024 Brit Awards … and by it, we mean the record for most wins in a single year. Harry Styles, Adele, and Blur previously held the joint title for taking home four awards in one ceremony. But on Saturday at London’s O2 arena, Raye won six of the seven categories she was nominated for, only missing out on Best Pop Act to Dua Lipa. Raye’s long-awaited debut album, My 21st Century Blues, earned her Album of the Year. She also took home trophies for Artist of the Year and Best R&B Act. In her acceptance speech for the latter award, Raye shared that she’s wanted to be an R&B artist since she was a teenager. “I was told, I think, a lie that R&B doesn’t sell in the U.K., so I needed to learn how to make different kinds of music,†she said. “I know that’s a bit shady, but I do mean that to say that R&B is so important, and there are so many incredible R&B artists in the U.K. who are eating it up.â€
On the international artists front, Kylie Minogue was honored with the Global Icon Award, which we hope made up for the fact that she was asked to drink out of a shoe during the ceremony. Artists from across the pond had a decent night as well, with SZA and Boygenius each taking home a win. Plus, Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers†beat out 14 nominees to win International Song of the Year.
