Sam Fender: 2019

Sam Fender has become hugely popular over the last couple of years, so it's no surprise he won the award in 2019. His debut album 'Hypersonic Missiles' was adored by fans.


Sam dropped his second album ' Seventeen Going Under' in October 2021 and has since sold out shows across the world.

The BRITs 2018 saw the likes of Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Dua Lipa take to the stage.

BRIT nominee Paloma Faith told us it was "amazing and shocking, AGAIN!" to be nominated. The singer has previously been nominated for a BRIT Award a number of times and most recently won a BRIT Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2015.

She also told us why she thinks she HASN'T won this year!

We also caught up with Liam Payne and gave him a challenge to get a certain word into his acceptance speech if he wins next month. The former One Direction star has been nominated for his first a solo BRIT Award in the categories of Best British Male Solo Artist and British Single for 'Strip that Down' featuring Quavo. His video for 'Strip That Down' has also be shortlisted for the British Video category.

The BRITs nominations are led by Dua Lipa who has a massive five nominations. Although he had a fantastic 2017 Ed Sheeran failed to beat Dua and was nominated for four BRIT Awards, whilst J Hus and Rag'n'Bone Man have three nominations each.

The BRIT Awards returned to the O2 Arena in London on the 21st February 2018, with performances from Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Dua Lipa and more huge acts. This year's show will be hosted by award-winning actor and comedian, Jack Whitehall.
