BRIT BILLIONS HANDED OUT

5/4/23

Thirteen artists have been named as the first recipients of the BPI's BRIT Billion award for reaching 1b U.K. streams. ABBA, Coldplay, Ellie Goulding and more are on the list.

Other artists honored are AJ Tracey, Anne-Marie, George Ezra, Headie One, Lewis Capaldi, Mariah Carey, RAYE, Rita Ora, Sam Smith and the late Whitney Houston.

The BRIT Billion award represents the first time in the certifications program's five-decade history that it officially recognizes an artist’s combined success across multiple projects.

The 1 billion career total includes tracks an artist has appeared on either as the principal performer or as a featured artist as credited by the Official Charts.
