TikTok and The Brit Awards
We recently announced that we will be powering the public vote for The BRIT Awards. As of 20 January, fans across the world have been voting for their favourite music artists through the app, in a first for both TikTok in the UK and the BRIT Awards.
The public vote will determine the winners of four new awards for the 2022 ceremony: Alternative/Rock Act, Dance Act, Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act, and Pop/R&B Act. The categories have been introduced to spotlight the incredible British talent creating music within these genres.
