Raye breaks the BRIT Awards record for most nominations in a single year
With award season in full swing, celebrities are gathering on both sides of the pond. The A-listers have been busy in LA at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globes this month, and this weekend the biggest names in music will be honoured at the GRAMMYs. Here in the UK, the BAFTAs are taking place in just a few short weeks, followed by the iconic BRIT Awards.
This year, singer-songwriter Raye has absolutely dominated the shortlists with no less than seven nominations – making her the most nominated artist in a single year ever. She received nominations for British Album of the Year, British Artist of the Year, New Artist, Song of the Year (twice), Pop Act and R&B Act. Previously, the most nominations in a single year was 6 – a record jointly held by Craig David, Gorillaz and Robbie Williams.
Raye said that she was ‘floored’ by the outpouring of support, saying via Guardian: “I am currently a mess of overwhelming emotions and confusion as to how this even happened to be honest.”
In the past, the award show has been criticised for its lack of female nominees, and while gendered categories were scrapped in 2022 to address the balance, it actually left the shortlists male-dominant. This year, the BRIT Awards organisers have increased the nominations in the Best Artist category from five to ten to ensure fair representation.
