"Dean was the big winner at this year's BRITs, taking home four trophies including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. Prior to the ceremony, PinkPantheress was named the BRIT Awards' 2026 Producer of the Year, making her the youngest artist and first woman to receive the honor."

"Introducing the "extraordinary" Alex Warren, Whitehall made a point of contextualizing just how everywhere the singer's hit "Ordinary" has been this year: 30 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, over 2 billion streams, the U.K.'s longest-running No. 1 hit in a decade."

"The trio of voices behind KPop Demon Hunters brought their inescapable song "Golden," which featured heavily in promo at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics and every child in your life likely knows. Trading off verses before joining up for a final refrain, the three women managed to keep things exciting."
