List of BRIT Awards 2026 Winners: Olivia Dean,

While Olivia Dean and Lola Young led the nominations for the 2026 BRIT Awards with five apiece, it was the neo-soul songbird who came out on top, taking a win in each of her categories for the UK’s biggest music night.

Following her win as Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, Olivia Dean claimed four trophies at the 2026 BRIT Awards, which took place at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, England. The 26-year-old won British Artist Of The Year, British Pop Act and British Album Of The Year for her second breakthrough The art of loveand British Song Of The Year for her Sam Fender collaboration “Rein Me In” — Dean competed against herself for Song of the Year and her chart-topping single “Man I Need” was also nominated.

In addition to Song of the Year, 31-year-old rock act Fender was the second most awarded artist of the night, winning the British Alternative/Rock Act over Lola Young, Wolf Alice, Blood Orange and Wet Leg.

Lola Young didn’t go home empty-handed and won the British Breakthrough Artist. Other big names from around the world such as Bruno Mars, Wolf Alice, Skepta, Rosé, Rosalía and Fred Again… were all also winners at the 2026 BRITs.

In an exciting piece of history, PinkPantheress’ win for Producer of the Year made her the first woman to ever receive the award since it was introduced in 1977. At 24 years old, the ‘Stateside’ star is also the youngest winner ever.

Elsewhere, super producer Mark Ronson was recognized with the Outstanding Contribution to Music award. The late Ozzy Osbourne was also recognized in the outstanding contributions category with a Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Dolly Parton.
