Raye surprised backstage with GWR certificates marking her iconic BRIT Awards success
BRIT winner Raye was surprised with her world record certificates following the last in a string of sell-out shows at The O2, London.
After entertaining her adoring crowd, the “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” hitmaker was met backstage by Guinness World Records Adjudicator Emma Salt, who offered the perfect end to her night.
Not only does Raye have the most BRIT award nominations in a single year with seven nods in 2024, but she also holds the record for most BRIT awards won in a single year after taking home six of the gongs.
The UK singer – real name Rachel Keen – won Album of the Year for My 21st Century Blues, Song of the Year for “Escapism” feat. 070 Shake, Artist of the Year, Best R&B Act, Best New Artist, and was also named Songwriter of the Year.
Adjudicator Emma said: "RAYE’s BRIT Awards success is an extraordinary moment in British music history. To hold both the record for the most BRIT Award nominations and the most BRIT Awards won in a single year is a remarkable achievement.
“At Guinness World Records, we’re passionate about celebrating achievement and inspiring people everywhere to be part of record breaking. We hope RAYE’s story encourages others to follow their own path and recognize that extraordinary things can come from embracing what makes you unique.
“It feels especially fitting to surprise RAYE with these titles at The O2, where one of these milestones was achieved and where fans are continuing to celebrate her music."

Raye will be taking to the stage at Pride on the Park in Brighton on 1 August before heading stateside to join fellow record breaker Bruno Mars as the special guest on his The Romantic Tour.
Bruno has broken a string of records himself, including most monthly listeners on Spotify (male) after he peaked at 151,079,821 monthly listeners on Spotify on 12 February 2025.
His surge in popularity came after two chart-topping duets – “Die with a Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT.” with Rosé.
Could a collab with Raye be on the cards next?
