Dua Lipa - The Global Awards 2021 Winner

Dua Lipa is the big winner at the 2021 Global Awards, while Harry Styles and Little Mix are also among those celebrated this year.

Now in its fourth year, the Global Awards brings together Global’s radio stations, Smooth, Classic FM, LBC, Gold, Radio X, Capital, Heart and Capital XTRA, to honour the biggest stars of music, news and entertainment.

With the glittering awards ceremony unable to take place this year, Global today revealed the 2021 winners on air, online and on Global Player to fans.

British singer Dua Lipa is a big winner in this year’s awards, picking up three awards.

Following the phenomenal success of Future Nostalgia, Dua Lipa was named Best Female and Best British Artist at the Global Awards 2021, and her huge hit ‘Don’t Start Now’ was the Most Played Song across Global’s radio stations in 2020.

Little Mix were honoured with the Best Group prize – an accolade they won at the inaugural Global Awards in 2018 and again in 2019. Their win sees them join Dua Lipa as the most celebrated artists in Global Awards history, with both acts receiving six trophies over four years.

Also celebrating wins are Harry Styles, who was named Best Male, Cardi B who was awarded Best Hip Hop or R&B and Nothing But Thieves who won Best Indie.

Joel Corry was named Rising Star, following in the footsteps of previous winners Mabel, Aitch and Halsey, in recognition of his breakthrough success in 2020.

John Sweeney’s widely acclaimed Hunting Ghislaine was named Best Podcast.

Upon learning of her triple Global Award win, Dua Lipa said: “I want to say thank you so much to my fans, I want to say thank you to my team, I want to say thank you to Ashley and everyone at Global. This is so exciting. Obviously I would have loved to have come and party with you guys, but we’ll have to do that again next year. Thank you, thank you so much! Now to jazz up my living room with these!”
