The current year's Brit Grants are bound for the set of experiences books - with pop star Raye winning six prizes, including best craftsman, best tune and collection of the year.
"Will it at any point beat this?" the overpowered 26-year-old asked behind the stage. "What is in any event, occurring?"
Yet, there's something else to the Brits besides the actual honors.
On an evening of tears, brews and celebrating professions, who were the genuine victors and failures at the O2 Field?
Best triumph: Raye
Six Brit grants in a single night is shocking.
David Bowie just got six in his whole profession. George Michael got three. Adele, the greatest English craftsman of the last ten years, has twelve.
At the end of the day, Raye is formally a portion of an Adele.
Raye's record-breaking pull is all the better since a long time back she was a self-portrayed "done for" in the music business.
Kept from delivering music by a record mark that didn't have faith in her, she needed to battle for her opportunity, at last going free in 2022.
From that point forward, her vocation has detonated: Idealism, a melody written in the profundities of sadness then, at that point, dismissed by her mark, turned into a beast hit. A UK number one, it was the greatest selling melody by an English female craftsman in 2023 and went platinum everywhere.
This evening, it won melody of the year, demonstrating that achievement truly is the best vengeance.
"This has been the greatest evening of my life," Raye told us a short time later. "Furthermore, fortunately they got everything on camera so I can watch it back."
Most tears shed: Raye
Last year, an American pop craftsman called Taylor Quick had a really fruitful run. Sold a couple of records, played a couple of shows, dated a footballer. You could have caught wind of it.
So it was a shock to the Swifties when entertainer Joanne Froggatt opened the envelope stamped "best worldwide craftsman" and read out another person's name: Missouri-conceived R&B vocalist SZA.
Yet, the shock was brief. This was no David-beats-Goliath second.
SZA's subsequent collection, SOS, is a cutting edge show-stopper: A 23-track creation where she takes apart love from each possible point, jumping deftly among classes and conveying flawless, snazzy vocal runs that obscure the lines among rapping and singing.
Regardless, the Brits improved here than the current year's Grammys, where SZA had a greater number of designations than some other craftsman, however was closed out of the relative multitude of primary classifications.
Best pop candidate Charli XCX turned up with a hard gum bustier that she needed to clasp to her waist the entire evening, on the off chance that she did a Janet Jackson and blazed the crowd.
The custom Marni outfit likewise made gobbling the slap-up Brits supper to some degree illogical.
"At the point when I need to plunk down, it ascends to my throat," she said. "It's not perfect."
In any case, all the uneasiness was worth the effort.
"This is the part that I care about. The look. Does any of the rest truly matter? I don't have any idea. No difference either way."
Raye impacts the world forever by winning six Brit Grants
Who won what at the Brit Grants - the full rundown
Brits honorary pathway: Dark dresses, pops of neon and a giraffe
Raye's way to the Brits: 'It's not been the least complex story'
Trick of the trade: Joe Keery
Here's something you probably won't be aware: Joe Keery, otherwise known as More odd Things' Steve Harrington, right now has a main 10 single in the UK.
End Of The Start, a marvelous non mainstream rock melody he recorded under the nom de plume quite a while back, has unexpectedly turned into a web sensation - procuring him a seat at the Brit Grants.
In any case, while he was glad to discuss his music, he was committed to mystery on the following (and last) time of More abnormal Things.
"I have seen the contents and that is all I can tell you," he said. "I have gotten a few papers with words composed on them that might possibly include anybody I know.
"Much else, I can't say."
Cheekiest Base: CMAT
Not since Jarvis Cocker waved his back at Michael Jackson has the Brits seen such wickedness.
As Clara Amfo was presenting an exhibition from Rema, the Dublin-conceived vocalist CMAT rearranged into the rear of her shot, and turned around to uncover what you could indirectly refer to her as "Irish craic".
Best affront: Roman Kemp
US underground rockers Green Day went to the Brits to introduce the best English gathering grant.
Yet, the show's co-have Roman Kemp figured out how to land an unpretentious dig at the band as they made that big appearance.
"To introduce our next grant for English gathering are two certifiable major celebrities," he said. "They have sold north of 75 million records and delivered 14 collections... They are a lot of the American Busted."
If by some stroke of good luck the remainder of the dull, dead content had been this anxious to raise a ruckus.
Most shining pop legend: Kylie Minogue
Kylie won the Brits' Worldwide Symbol Grant - a lifetime accomplishment prize without the brutal "your profession's been better" subtext.
She celebrated with a profession traversing mixture of hits including Padam, Can't Get You Somewhere far away from me, Head over heels love and Every one of the Darlings.
Showing up on a plinth high over the crowd, she went through four outfit changes, serving moves like a choreographical candy machine.
The best part is that she was by all accounts having a great time - running down the catwalk and high-fiving her artists with a major, overflowing smile.
Like her Glastonbury execution a long time back, it was a sign of why she's so cherished.
Different entertainers believe you should see the work, the perspiration and the tears. Kylie simply sparkles.
Hattiest cap: Ella Henderson
Confusing the Brit Grants with Regal Ascot, Ella Henderson turned up in a voluminous chapeau, which she then demanded wearing all through the function.
Also, shouldn't something be said about individuals sitting behind her?
"I'll pivot and let them know what's happening," she chuckled.
Most drastically averse to submit to Newton's law of all inclusive attractive energy: Dua Lipa
It's uncharitable to bring it up once more, yet Dua Lipa's very first Brits execution back in 2018 was unnatural to the point that it produced the "go young lady, give us nothing" image.
She's since portrayed the investigation as "truly excruciating".
"I was like, 'I'm at long last getting to do something that I love to do, and I'm being closed down, that I just really can't ever figure things out,'" she told Drifter.
Dua's been refuting the critics from that point onward - yet her initial execution at the current year's Brits was one for the ages: Wearing a trimmed cowhide coat and shorts, she swaggered down the catwalk towards an alternating pinnacle of male artists.
Then she was raised very high by two stunt-devils, with nary a quiver in her voice, prior to arriving back in front of an audience to complete the melody.
In a night loaded up with eye-getting and imaginative exhibitions (yell outs to Rema, Tate McRae and Becky Slope), this was a stick out.
The wet kipper grant for absence of excitement: The Brits crowd
Did somebody place tranquilizers in the champagne? The air in the O2 was basically as stone cold dead pounded into a Dodo and covered in a substantial fortification.
The television crowd was not intrigued.
"There's something extremely disgusting about this years' #BritAwards," composed Keiran Maddison on X. "The energies are so off and the group is so dead."
"Is there even anybody in the crowd?" asked Hayley Davies.
"Bring back the days when everybody was very much oiled and being demigods," closed Partner Fothers.
One year from now, perhaps put the fans at the front and the business tables elsewhere. Like the vehicle leave.
Most ruinous beverage: Kylie's champagne shoey
The Brits scriptwriters were strangely focused on drinking jokes - as though they were attempting to will a Brandon Block second into reality.
Roman Kemp even tested Calvin Harris (who is teetotal) to down a shot, prior to uncovering a jug marked "Harry Styles bathwater".
"I call it the Saltburn," he winked, regarding a scene from a film that I will not depict on the off chance that you haven't seen it.
Afterward, Kemp convinced Kylie Minogue to do a "shoey", in the Australian practice of drinking a lager from a shoe.
"Do I do this?" she asked the group, who cried in endorsement.
Kemp properly poured a portion of Kylie's mark rosé champagne into a high heel, before the two of them took a liberal taste.
Co-have Maya Jama then kidded that Kemp had competitor's foot, which would have been a fair joke on the off chance that they'd been drinking from his shoe.
Most grounded champs: Present to Me The Skyline
Twenty years subsequent to shaping, Present to Me The Skyline won their very first Brit Grant, for best stone/elective demonstration.
In front of an audience, frontman Oli Sykes recommended their triumph over groups like Haze, Youthful Dads and the Drifters was all down to a detail.
"Supports to the Brits making the democratic framework so confounded just our fans could be arsed," he kidded.
Behind the stage, the band were similarly as vacant. Asked how he wanted to manage his prize, Sykes answered: "I think it'll be an extremely valuable doorstop for the approaching mid year months.
"With a dangerous atmospheric devation and that, we'll need to prop the entryway open to let a portion of that intensity escape."
Best grandmother: Agatha Dawson
Raye's last honor of the night was the greatest: Collection of the year, for her classification bouncing presentation My 21st Century Blues.
For her last discourse at the platform, she raised her grandma, Agatha, for moral help.
"She raised me," made sense of the artist (whose center name is Agatha) behind the stage.
"My folks worked all day so she came from Ghana to come and raise us, she lived with us, she took us to and from school, and she poured such a lot of adoration and heart into us".
What a lady.
