When the second Brit awards were held, the Police received the honour and the award had been given out to one group annually since 1982. The only exception to this was in 1992, when the KLF and Simply Red were revealed to have tied and, as such, both groups were announced as winners.^[4] Damon Albarn is the only individual to have been nominated for work in multiple groups, receiving five nominations (including one win) as a member of Blur, and five nominations (including one win) as a member of Gorillaz.

The group took to call out the award ceremony and the music industry over white male dominance, the lack of nominations and wins for female groups in the category and paid homage to previous girl group nominees.^[5]
