Similar to the BRAT Awards: Charli XCX achieves significant success at the 2025 BRIT Awards.

      After thoroughly dominating pop culture over the last year, Charli XCX excelled at the BRIT Awards 2025, taking home an impressive five awards, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for 'BRAT.' Although she didn't perform that evening (as per host Jack Whitehall, she wanted to get drunk - talk about being a brat), other nominees, such as Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, and JADE, graced the stage with memorable performances that made this year's BRITs unforgettable. Beyond Charli's revelry, Chappell Roan secured two awards for Best International Artist and Best International Song, while former DIY cover stars Fontaines DC won Best International Group for a second consecutive year. Sam Fender, RAYE, Stormzy, JADE, and Charli XCX (again) each won in their respective genre categories, based on fan votes. Additionally, Ezra Collective won Group of the Year, and another DIY favorite, The Last Dinner Party, was named Best New Artist. Below is the complete list of nominations and winners.
