Olivia Dean was the big winner at the BRIT Awards 2026, with the chart-topping star taking home the prizes for Artist, Album and Song of the Year.
The singer-songwriter – who also scooped the Best Pop Act prize – was recognised for her second album ‘The Art of Loving’, released last September, along with her Sam Fender collaboration ‘Rein Me In’, which has spent the past two weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart.
Fender was a double winner, also taking home the Best Alternative/Rock Act award, while the rest of the winners took home one award apiece.
Spanish singer Rosalía was named International Artist of the Year, Lola Young was crowned Breakthrough Artist and Wolf Alice and Geese won the Group of the tear and International Group of the Year accolades. Rosé and Bruno Mars took home the International Song of the Year prize for ‘APT.’.
Meanwhile, Noel Gallagher was honoured with the Songwriter of the Year award, Mark Ronson received the Outstanding Contribution to Music prize and Ozzy Osbourne was posthumously honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award, accepted by his wife Sharon and daughter Kelly.
The ceremony – which was hosted by Jack Whitehall from Co-op Live arena in Manchester, its first time outside of London – was opened by Harry Styles, who debuted his No. 1 hit ‘Aperture’ live, with Robbie Williams leading a tribute to Osbourne and Mark Ronson joined by Dua Lipa and Ghostface Killah for his set.
