Notable Artists Who Haven't Won a Brit Award

The Brit Awards, since their first ceremony in 1977, have been a cornerstone of recognition in the UK music scene. With stars like Dua Lipa, Bring Me The Horizon, and Calvin Harris among recent winners, and record-holding Robbie Williams boasting 18 wins, acclaim seems widespread. Yet, it's remarkable that some of music's biggest names have never received one of these coveted trophies.

The Rolling Stones

Despite being considered rock royalty and having an iconic presence since 1962, the Rolling Stones have never won a Brit Award. This is in stark contrast to their contemporaries, The Beatles, who have secured four.

Leona Lewis

The 2006 X Factor winner and beloved singer of 'Bleeding Love,' Leona Lewis, holds an MTV Europe Music Award, among other accolades, but a Brit Award has always slipped through her fingers despite seven nominations.

Sex Pistols

The Sex Pistols, fronted by Johnny Rotten, were pivotal in the British punk movement, but the band's influential songs like 'God Save The Queen' and 'Anarchy In The U.K.' never translated into Brit Award wins.

Radiohead

With 16 nominations but no wins, Radiohead might be the most nominated act without a Brit Award, despite their huge impact on alternative rock and successful tracks like 'Creep' and 'Paranoid Android.'

The Smiths

The Smiths, led by the outspoken Morrissey, are yet another influential band who have never been honored with a Brit Award, a fact that Morrissey has vocally dismissed, criticizing the awards' credibility.

Pulp

While lead singer Jarvis Cocker made a splash with his infamous protest against Michael Jackson during the awards, his band Pulp has been overlooked for Brit Awards, despite several nominations.

Black Sabbath

The gods of metal, Black Sabbath concluded their monumental career without a Brit Award to their name, although they did receive a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as a token of recognition.

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse, a remarkable talent gone too soon, managed to win a Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist but missed out on accolades for her chart-topping albums and singles during her lifetime, and even posthumously.

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette, the voice behind the hit album 'Jagged Little Pill,' has enjoyed international success but has experienced limited recognition at the Brits, with just one win out of three nominations.
