Lewis Capaldi was among the big winners at the Radio 1 Teen Awards in London on Sunday (24.11.19)
The 23-year-old singer was announced as this year’s winner of the Best British Singer award and the Best Single category for ‘Someone You Loved’, having enjoyed a dramatic rise to stardom in 2019.
Capaldi released his debut album, ‘Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent’, in May and has since established himself as one of the music industry’s most sought-after stars.
Elsewhere, Stormzy won the Best British Rapper gong at the event at Television Centre, whilst Little Mix – which features Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson – claimed the Best Group award.
The chart-topping girlband previously won the Best British Group title in 2017 and 2018, but the Best Group prize is, in fact, a new award which combines the previous Best British Group and International Group categories.
Another of the big-name winners at the annual awards bash – which was hosted by Greg James, Maya Jama and Mollie King – was Ariana Grande, who won Best International Solo Artist.
The 26-year-old singer – who has a huge global fanbase – released her most-recent album, ‘Thank U, Next’, earlier this year.
The record spawned a string of chart hits, including the single ‘7 Rings’ and the lead single from the album, ‘Thank U, Next’.
Meanwhile, the much-hyped Marvel movie ‘Avengers Endgame’ was named the Best Film, whilst ‘Stranger Things’ – which stars the likes of Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard – topped the Best TV Show category.
The Radio 1 teen awards show will be broadcast on Saturday, November 30 on Radio 1 (12-1 pm GMT) and BBC Two (4-5 pm GMT).
