Big Wins for The 1975 and Calvin Harris at this Year’s Brit Awards

Cameron Blackshaw — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 00:05:09 +0000

The biggest night in the British music industry calendar saw big names such as Little Mix and Jess Glynne performing with Calvin Harris and The 1975 taking home two Brits each. Other winners included Jorja Smith and George Ezra who both took home best British solo artist awards for their respective genders. Both of the artists also performed; Smith delivered a moving rendition of Don’t Watch Me Cry while Ezra added a brass band to his performance of his hit single Shotgun.

The 1975 won best British group for the second time as well as picking up the prestigious British album of the year for their third album ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’. The awards were well deserved with A Brief Inquiry reaching the top of the British album charts and many critics drawing comparisons between the album and Radiohead’s seminal 1997’s album ‘OK Computer’.

Calvin Harris was the other big winner of the night as he took home best British single for his hugely popular single with Dua Lipa, ‘One Kiss’. Harris also won best producer of the year. His producing skills were exemplified by his performance which was a mash up of songs he had made with British talent such as Dua Lipa, Sam Smith and Rag’n’Bone Man.

P!nk was honoured with the outstanding contribution to music award. She performed a small set of her songs to end the night which showcased some impressive visuals and P!nk’s impressive vocal talent. Comedian Jack Whitehall presented the show for the second year running, bringing his signature scathing humour to the world of music.

The Outstanding Contribution to Music Award will be Awarded to Pink at 2019 Brit Awards

Caitlyn Hart — Thu, 07 Feb 2019 12:39:39 +0000

The Brit Awards have announced that, multi-million selling global pop icon, P!nk will be honoured with the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, at this year’s ceremony. P!NK will be the first international artist to receive this award, following in the footsteps of the likes of Sir Elton John, the Spice Girls, and David Bowie.

The award has not been presented at the BRITs since 2012, when Blur were the recipients of the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to Music Award. The pop icon will receive the honour during this year’s ceremony, which will be held, at The O2 Arena, in London, on the 20th of February 2019.

Speaking about receiving the prestigious award, in a statement, P!nk said: “I am so honoured to be recognised with the Outstanding Contribution To Music Award at the 2019 BRITs! Since the beginning of my career the British fans have been some of the most fierce and loyal in the world. I am humbled to receive this honour and be in the company of an illustrious group of British icons!”

P!NK is a musical force to be reckoned with, with seven studio albums and one greatest hits album, since her debut in 2000, totalling more than 60 million global sales, and more than 8 million, in the UK alone along with more than 12 million UK single sales. The singer/song-writer has many accolades under her belt. P!NK has become one of the UK’s best-selling female artists and one of the world’s greatest singers, with her inimitable powerhouse vocals and show-stopping stage performances; with seven Top Five albums – with two going No. 1 (Funhouse and the most recent platinum-certified Beautiful Trauma), three UK No. 1 singles (‘Just Like A Pill’, ‘So What’, ‘Lady Marmalade’) and 32 Top 40 singles, 19 of which going Top 10, including ‘Try’, ‘Just Give Me A Reason’ and ‘What About Us’.

In the UK alone, the pop icon has sold more than 2 million tickets to date, nine BRIT nominations, and one win for International Female Solo Artist, in 2003, and a string of other prestigious awards and accolades including three GRAMMY awards (20 nominations) and two Billboard Music Awards, P!NK’s career sees no sign of letting up with her first UK stadium tour in five years booked for this summer, including two nights, at London’s Wembley Stadium.

BRITs Chairman and Chairman & CEO of Sony Music UK and Ireland, Jason Iley said: “P!NK is a trailblazer, a phenomenally talented singer and songwriter, and truly one of the greatest artists of our time. It is a real pleasure to honour her at this year’s BRIT Awards with the Outstanding Contribution To Music Award. With her remarkable career spanning nearly 20 years, P!NK is one of the most successful artists in the world, consistently releasing multi-million-selling albums and selling out tours all over the globe. I am really excited to welcome her back to The BRITs and to recognise her prodigious success.”

P!NK joins an illustrious list of previous BRIT Awards Outstanding Contribution to Music recipients including Sir Elton John, David Bowie, Queen, Spice Girls, U2, Sir Paul McCartney, Oasis, Robbie Williams and Blur. The award was rested in 2013 to make way for a Special Recognition for War Child to mark the charity’s 20th anniversary. P!NK will be the first international artist to receive the honour, a decision taken by The BRITs committee to open the award up to overseas acts who have achieved long term success, in the UK, and P!NK will be awarded in recognition of her significant impact on British music and her incredible musical repertoire over the past two decades.

As like all winners on the night, P!NK will be presented with an exclusive trophy designed for this year only by Sir David Adjaye OBE, and she will close the show with an exclusive performance on the night, showcasing her extraordinary talent which continues to wow audiences all over the world.
