TheBrit Award for British Pop Act is an award given by theBritish Phonographic Industry (BPI), an organisation which represents record companies and artists in theUnited Kingdom.[1] The accolade is presented at theBrit Awards, an annual celebration ofBritish and international music.[2] The winners and nominees were initially determined by the Brit Awards voting academy with over one-thousand members comprisingrecord labels,publishers,managers,agents, media, and previous winners and nominees,[3] but starting with the42nd Brit Awards ceremony, the award is voted by fans.[4]
Boy bandFive are the first winners of the category, whileWestlife andDua Lipa have the most wins, with two. The category was exclusively won by bands until 2006, whenJames Blunt became the first solo artist to receive the award.S Club 7 hold the record for most nominations without a win, with three. The current holder of the award isJADE, who won in 2025.
The award was first presented asBest British Pop Act at the2000 Brit Awards and was retired in2006.
In 2021, it was announced that the category had been revived and renamedBest British Pop/R&B Act following the removal of gendered categories. This new iteration of the award was first presented at the42nd Brit Awards and the winner is voted for by the public onTikTok alongside the three other genre categories (Rock/Alternative Act,Dance Act andHip Hop/Grime/Rap Act).[5]
For the2024 Brit Awards, it was announced that Best British Pop Act would return as it split from R&B and the award forBest British R&B Act. The change follows criticism from many artists in the R&B community around the lack of representation in the category.[6]
