The BRIT Awards 2025 have announced Myles Smith as the winner of the prestigious BRITs Rising Star award. This marks an incredible milestone in the 26-year-old artist’s meteoric rise. The announcement was made by Jack Saunders on his BBC Radio 1 New Music show, unveiling Myles as the first winner revealed for The BRITs 2025.

Myles shared his excitement: “Winning the BRIT award for Rising Star is such a surreal moment. Music has always been about connecting with people, and to see it resonate on this level is incredible. I’m so grateful to my team, my family, and especially the fans who’ve supported me every step of the way. Your belief in me means everything. This is just the beginning, and I’m so excited for what’s to come—thank you for being part of this journey.”

In addition to this honour, Myles continues to dominate global charts with his platinum-certified single “Stargazing.” This week, the track hit #1 at Top 40 and Hot AC radio, making Myles the first UK artist to reach #1 on all three major radio formats in the US with a debut radio single. The song previously hit #1 on the Alternative radio chart in September, cementing its cross-genre appeal.

These milestones cap off an extraordinary year for Myles. “Stargazing” is now the biggest global single from a UK artist this year, spending 29 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and amassing over 550 million streams on Spotify alone. The track is a centerpiece of his growing catalogue, which has now surpassed 1.4 billion streams worldwide. The single is now the top-selling 2024 single by an English artist this year and has dominated airplay charts across the US, UK, Germany, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland.

The past year has also seen Myles recognised as BBC Introducing’s Artist of the Year for 2024 along with making the longlist for BBC’s prestigious Sound Of poll. His recent EP A Minute… has further solidified his status which also features the recent viral hit “Nice To Meet You.” Alongside sold-out dates on his 2024 global tour, Myles has graced stages on the TODAY Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Later… with Jools Holland, and will be performing on the Season 26 finale of The Voice on Tuesday, December 10. Looking ahead, Myles will embark on his sold-out UK tour in February 2025 before joining Ed Sheeran on the European leg of the Mathematics Tour.

Hailing from Luton, Myles’ journey is grounded in authenticity. Taught to play the guitar and piano by the age of 12, he performed at local pubs and open-mic nights before gaining traction on TikTok in 2020. His covers of “Sweater Weather” and “I Found” went viral, paving the way for original songs like “Solo” and “My Home” that earned him a deal with RCA in 2023. Myles’ unique ability to unite audiences through his heartfelt lyrics is evident in his smash hit “Stargazing,” which pairs soaring melodies with introspective storytelling.

As he continues to shape his legacy, Myles Smith is undeniably an artist to watch in 2025 and beyond.
