Foo Fighters took home the Global Award for Best Rock & Indie, beating out stiff competition from the likes of Blur, Blink-182, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Nothing But Thieves.
To round off her recent record-breaking haul at the BRIT Awards, RAYE wins three awards including Best Pop and Best British Act at The Global Awards 2024, while her collaboration with Cassö and D-Block Europe on PRADA’wins Best Song.
Commenting on taking home a trio of Global Awards trophies, RAYE said: "I just want to say thank you so much to Capital and The Global Awards for my beautiful awards. I’m very, very grateful! Thank you for supporting me from the beginning, and for playlisting my music... I owe you so much and I’m very grateful. So, lots of love, and thank you!”"
After enjoying another stellar year in his career, Calvin Harris also walks away with three Global Awards, including Best Male, and Best Dance. Calvin also wins Most Played for his track Miracle with Ellie Goulding, which spent two consecutive weeks at number one on The Official Big Top 40 by Global.
Another triple-winner, Calvin Harris, said: “Thank you to Global for these three awards here. Unbelievable! Thank you to Capital, Capital Dance and Heart for playing the songs. You know, it’s still a buzz getting your tune played on the radio. So, these are going to stay in the studio, and hopefully inspire me to make some more decent tunes that will get played. And until then, thank you very much and all the best. Cheers!”
