Adele was the big winner at the 2022 Brit Awards, which were presented at the 02 arena in London on Tuesday (Feb. 8). She won artist of the year, Mastercard album of the year for 30 and song of the year for “Easy on Me.” She lost in just one category, the fan-voted best pop/rock act, which went to Dua Lipa.

This was Adele’s third win for both album and song of the year. She previously won album of the year for 21 (2012) and 25 (2016). She is the first solo artist in Brits history to win this award three times. Moreover, she’s only the second artist in Brits history, following Coldplay, to win this award with three consecutive studio albums.

Adele previously won song of the year for “Skyfall” (2013) and “Hello” (2016). Only Take That (five wins) and Robbie Williams (three) have won as many times in this category.

We’ll have to wait a year to see how Adele fares at the 65th annual Grammy Awards. Her album and single were released too late to qualify for the 64th annual Grammys, which will be presented on April 3.

This year marks the first time that the Brits have combined separate male and female categories in both artist of the year and international artist. So how did it shake out? Female artists won both awards. As noted, Adele took artist of the year. She had won twice for British female solo artist. Billie Eilish won for international artist. She had won the last two years for international female artist.

Silk Sonic took the award for international group. This is the second year in a row that BTS has lost in this category. Last year, the K-pop superstars lost to Haim.

The Brits introduced four fan-voted genre awards this year. The winners were: Dua Lipa (pop/ R&B act), Sam Fender (alternative/rock act), Becky Hill (dance act) and Dave (hip hop/grime/rap act). The winners were determined by a public vote via TikTok. Fender won the rising star award two years ago. Dave took album of the year two years ago for Psychodrama.

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” won for international song of the year. The smash was the biggest-selling international single of the year in the U.K. Rodrigo performed “drivers license” at last year’s Brit Awards, her first major performance.

The female-fronted Wolf Alice won group of the year. The London band beat last year’s winners Little Mix and four-time category champs Coldplay.

Female artists also won both of the Brits’ two awards for rising talent. Little Simz won best new artist. Holly Humberstone was already announced as this year’s winner of the rising star award.

Ed Sheeran won the inaugural award for songwriter of the year. As previously announced, Inflo won producer of the year. He’s the first Black producer to win in that category in the show’s history. Inflo worked with 2022 Brit winners Adele and Little Simz, along with Michael Kiwanuka and SAULT.

British comedian Mo Gilligan hosted the Brit Awards, which are presented by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
