It was Harry's night at the Brit Awards. The singer won four prizes, including album of the year, at the U.K.'s leading music awards. On the other hand, female-led indie rock band Wet Leg took trophies for group of the year and best new artist.
Beyonce won two Brits - international artist of the year and international song of the year, for Break My Soul.
Styles took the album of the year trophy for "Harry's House," less than a week after winning the same category at the Grammy Awards.
Accepting the best-artist trophy, the global pop heartthrob thanked "my mum for signing me up for X Factor,'" the talent show that brought him to fame with boyband One Direction.
"I am very aware of my privilege up here tonight," said Styles, who drew criticism for saying at the Grammys that "this doesn't happen to people like me very often." Some saw the comment as deaf to the struggles faced by artists from diverse backgrounds.
