Charli XCX emerged as the biggest winner at the 2025 awards ceremony, dominating the night by securing victories in multiple major categories.
The 32-year-old singer-songwriter claimed five prestigious awards, including artist of the year and best dance act. Her chart-topping hit Guess, a collaboration with US superstar Billie Eilish, earned her the highly sought-after song of the year title.
Additionally, her critically acclaimed album Brat won album of the year, solidifying her status as a leading force in contemporary music. Even before the ceremony commenced on Saturday, March 1, Charli XCX had already been honored as songwriter of the year, further recognizing her influence and contribution to the industry.
The event, which showcased the best of British and international music over the past year, also saw US star Chappell Roan take home a major accolade. She was crowned international artist of the year, while her hit single Good Luck, Babe! was named international song of the year.
