Who won British Album of the Year at the 2018 Brit Awards?

Stormzy won British Album of the Year at the 2018 Brit Awards for his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer.

The album was released in February 2017 and became a major milestone for British grime and rap. It reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and included tracks such as "Big for Your Boots," "Blinded by Your Grace, Pt. 2" and "Shut Up." Stormzy's win placed grime at the centre of the UK's biggest mainstream music ceremony.

The award was officially branded the Mastercard British Album of the Year. Stormzy's competitors included Dua Lipa's Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran's ÷, J Hus's Common Sense and Rag'n'Bone Man's Human. A common mix-up is confusing this award with British Artist of the Year, which went to Ed Sheeran in 2018. The ceremony took place on February 21, 2018, at London's O2 Arena.
