RAYE MADE history over the weekend beating the BRITs record for the most number of award wins in one night, taking home six.

The Awards took place at The O2 arena in London, with a live audience of music fans, BRIT School students and invited guests from the music industry, all coming together to celebrate the great and the good of British and International music from the last year.

Hosted by a trio of leading entertainment broadcasting talent – Clara Amfo, Maya Jama and Roman Kemp – the show saw a total of 17 awards presented throughout the evening, punctuated by eight show-stopping performances from a diverse mix of artists and genres hailing from the UK and beyond.

The scene was set back in January, with RAYE breaking the record for the highest number of nominations by a single artist in any one year, having garnered seven nominations when the shortlists were unveiled during an exclusive live stream on BRITs’ Instagram and Facebook. 

Last Saturday was unequivocally the biggest night of this 26-year-old’s life. 

Having already been announced as the winner of Songwriter of the Year in advance of the ceremony, RAYE went on to pick up five more awards on the night – bringing her total haul to six. 

Her award wins for Mastercard Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year with Mastercard, R&B Act and Songwriter of the Year puts RAYE at the top of the BRITs leaderboard for having the most wins in one night, making BRIT Awards history by beating the previous record of four, held by Harry Styles (2023), Adele (2016) and Blur (1995). 

RAYE’s on-stage time during the ceremony was extended further through her triumphant medley performance. 

Over half of this year’s nominations featured women – supported by category changes for 2024 that saw The BRITs extend the number of nominees in the Artist of the Year categories from five to ten and the introduction of a new R&B genre award.

The International categories were completely dominated by women – SZA winning International Song of the Year for her global hit ‘Kill Bill’.
