Harry Styles has swept the board at this year’s Brit awards, winning all four of his categories. The 29-year-old musician claimed best song – for the ubiquitous As It Was, which spent 10 weeks at No 1 last spring – best album (Harry’s House), best pop/R&B act and the controversial best artist award.
The latter category, which replaced the gendered best artist prizes in 2022, was the subject of a backlash when women and non-binary musicians were entirely excluded from this year’s nominations, which comprised Styles, Central Cee, Stormzy, George Ezra and Fred Again.
