An all-male Artist of the Year nominee list irks the music industry in the second year of the Brit Awards having two gender-neutral categories, as Harry Styles wins big.
Styles took home the coveted album of the year for Harry’s House, song of the year for his synth-pop hit As It Was, best pop/R&B act and artist of the year, one of two gender-neutral categories introduced last year after BRIT awards organisers got rid of female and male distinctions.
The contenders for that prize were all men, which had irked many in the industry and on social media.
