Freya Ridings

Wooden spoon award for zero votes: FKA twigs

Joint runners up: Charli XCX & Freya Ridings

Mirroring the Brits result, Buzzjackers vote Mabel as their favourite British female (and rightly so). How cute was it to see her with her mum Neneh Cherry last night?

Male Solo Artist

Nominees:
Dave
Harry Styles
Lewis Capaldi
Sam Fender
Stormzy

Wooden spoon award for zero votes: Stormzy

Runner up: Harry Styles

Winner: Lewis Capaldi (43% share of votes)

In stark contrast to Stormzy winning this category at the Brits, surprisingly not a single person voted for him here. Instead it goes to some Scottish fella called Lewis. Here's his performance from last night:

New Artist

Nominees:
Aitch
Freya Ridings
Lewis Capaldi
Dave
Sam Fender

Wooden spoon award for zero votes: Aitch

Runner up: Sam Fender

Winner: Lewis Capaldi (57% share of votes)

Aaaand here he is again, good old Capaldi, and this time with the biggest percentage win so far. Kinda not surprised Aitch failed to pick up any votes but thought Dave might have got more of a look in (he only got 1 vote).

Song of the Year

Nominees:
Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber – I Don't Care
Mabel – Don't Call Me Up
Calvin Harris & Rag'n'Bone Man – Giant
Dave feat. Burna Boy – Location
Mark Ronson feat. Miley Cyrus – Nothing Breaks Like A Heart
AJ Tracey – Ladbroke Grove
Lewis Capaldi – Someone You Loved
Tom Walker – Just You And I
Sam Smith & Normani – Dancing With A Stranger
Stormzy – Vossi Bop

Joint runners up: Giant & Nothing Breaks Like A Heart

Winner: Lewis Capaldi – Someone You Loved (43% share of votes)

Yep, you guessed it, it's him again. With some little known song from last year called Someone You Loved. In all seriousness it's a great song but it's ridiculously overplayed by this point, probably the most overexposed song since Shape Of You. This is so far the third category in which Buzzjack picked the same winner as the Brits did.

Giant or NBLAH deserved though at least they're joint runners up.

International Female Solo Artist

Nominees:
Ariana Grande
Billie Eilish
Lizzo
Pink
Taylor Swift

Runner up: Taylor Swift

Winner: Billie Eilish (38% share of votes)

Once again, Buzzjackers picked the same winner as the Brits, and an unsurprising victory for the girl who is the artist of the moment. This is the first category in which all five nominees picked up at least one vote, in fact no one got less than three votes! This is also the category that I really struggled to whittle down to five nominees but whether I'd included Lana and Madonna or not, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have changed Billie winning.

Yes!!

Shame the BRITs didn't recognise him this year but at least he won two Swedish Grammis (song of the year with 'SOS' and electronic/dance album of the year with 'Tim')

(Sorry, rushing the results now as I'm going out for the evening in a bit)

International Group

Nominees:
BTS
Jonas Brothers
The Script
Vampire Weekend
Westlife

Runner up: Vampire Weekend

Winner: Jonas Brothers (33% share of votes)

A category which the Brits did away with this year, I'm not really sure why. Bad luck to Vampire Weekend, as Jonas Brothers won this by a single vote. Where are all the BTS stans?
