All About Brit Awards

The BRIT Awards, which are many times just called the BRITs, are the British Phonographic Industry’s popular music awards that are held annually. The name of these awards was originally a shortened form of the terms “British”, “Britain”, or “Britannia” but later on, it became an acronym for British Record Industry Trusts Show. In addition to the normal awards, a similar award ceremony is held for classical music which is called the Classic BRIT Awards. This award  is held in the month of May. These awards were initialized in the year 1977 and got their origins as an annual event in 1982 that took place under the auspices of the British record industry’s trade association, the BPI. In 1989, they got their new name as The BRIT Awards. The company Mastercard has been a long-term supporter of the event by acting as its sponsor.

BRIT awards are considered as The highest-profile music awards in the United Kingdom, the BRIT Awards have shown some of the most popular events in British popular culture. These include the final public emergence of Freddie Mercury, the Jarvis Cocker protest that was held against Michael Jackson, the peak of a high-profile fight between Oasis and fellow Britpop band Blur, the Union Jack dress that was worn by Geri Halliwell of the Spice Girls, and also a Chumbawamba member who threw a bucket of iced water on the then-Deputy Prime Minister of UK John Prescott.
