With two prizes each, The 1975 and Calvin Harris emerged as the top winners at the annual 39th Annual Brit Awards, which were presented at London’s O2 Arena on February 20, 2019. Jack Whitehall hosted the ceremony, which was televised in the U.K. on ITV. The awards are from the British Phonographic Industry. The 1975 won the awards for Best British Group and Best British Album (for “A Brief History of Online Relationships”), while Harris received the prizes for British Producer of the Year (a non-competitive category) and British Single of the Year (for “One Kiss,” his collaboration with Dua Lipa).
Performers at the event included Hugh Jackman; George Ezra with the
