Raye’s dream of winning a BRIT Award finally came true… and she made history along the way! “Escapism” singer collected six shine trophies at London’s The O2 Arena on Saturday night, setting a new record for most awards won by a single artist in a year.
Raye made BRIT Awards history even before attending the ceremony and became the most nominated artist in a single year with seven nods. She eventually walked away with six awards, only losing the best pop act prize to Dua Lipa.
Raye’s debut album My 21st Century Blues defeated the likes of The Ballad of Darren by Blur, Beautiful and Brutal Yard by J Hus, No Thank You by Little Simz, and Heavy Heavy by Young Fathers to win one of the ceremony’s top prizes – British album of the year.
Raye also collected the coveted award for the British artist of the year, while her breakout hit “Escapism” ft. 070 Shake was named the song of the year. She came out victorious in three more categories to bring her total to six awards – best R&B act, best new artist, and songwriter of the year.
The 2024 BRIT Awards returned to The O2 Arena in London on March 2, with Clara Amfo, Maya Jama, and Roman Kemp sharing the hosting duties.
