British music put on a brash, confident show at the Brit Awards on Wednesday,
Winners ranged from established acts such as Coldplay and Adele to world-conquering boy band One Direction, who won in the new Global Success category.
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson called the prize "absolutely mind-blowing."
Surfing English folk singer Ben Howard and chanteuse Emeli Sande each won two awards.
Sande was named best British female artist and won the album of the year prize for her debut "Our Version of Events," which has been in the British charts for more than a year. Scotland-raised Sande got a big boost in 2012 when she performed at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics.
"This is a dream, really," said Sande.
She thanked everyone "who made me feel like I'm part of something much bigger."
Most of the awards are chosen by more than 1,000 musicians, critics and record industry figures, with several decided by public vote.
