Raye breaks Brits record as Kylie takes Global Icon award

Singer-songwriter Raye has broken the record for most Brits Awards in one year with six including Best Artist and Best Album.

Raye had already made history with a record-breaking seven nominations.

Kylie Minogue received the Global Icon award and then closed the ceremony with a glistening performance at the O2 in London.

Raye went up against Dua Lipa - who won Best Pop Act and opened the show earlier - in the Best Artist category.

Six of the 10 nominees in that field were female - a stark contrast to last year's awards, which came under fire over its all-male Best Artist line-up.

Raye was among those performing along with Becky Hill and Chase & Status, Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris and Jungle.
