TheBRITs Billion Award is a special award given by theBritish Phonographic Industry (BPI) to artist who have achieved over one billion digital streams in the United Kingdom. An extension of the BPI'smusic certification system, the number of streams is verified using data calculated by theOfficial Charts Company and is the first time in the fifty-year history of the system that an artist's combined success over multiple projects has been recognized as a collective total. The one billion career streams include tracks where the artist is the primary performer, as well as tracks where they appear as a featured artist.[1][2]

The award was established in 2023 and first presented on May 4, 2023, to thirteen artists. To date, thirty-two recipients have received the BRIT Billion Award. The most recent recipient isKSI, who was presented with the award in November 2024. At 20 years old,Olivia Rodrigo is the youngest recipient.Ed Sheeran is the first (and only) artist to be awarded the gold version of the award for reaching ten billion streams. James Bay received his Brit Billion on October 8, 2024 as well.

Creation

[edit]

The award was created to reflect the growing importance of streaming in the UK. In a statement announcing the initial recipients, Sophie Jones, Chief Executive of the BPI, explained: "for a recording artist, there can be few greater sources of pride than having a Platinum or Gold disc on their wall, but in an era when success in measured in the hundreds of millions and indeed billions of streams, it was clear that we needed a new and additional way to recognise and celebrate outstanding achievement in recorded music, and I feel certain that having a BRIT Billion Award will become equally prized."[3]

The trophy itself is manufactured by Gaudio Awards inTewkesbury, Gloucestershire.[4]
