The Brit Award for International Male Solo Artist is an award given by the
History
The award was first presented in 1989 as International Male Solo Artist. The accolade was not handed out at the 1990, 1992 and 1993 ceremonies, with the award for International Solo Artist (given to a male or female artist) being awarded instead.[4][5] The award for International Male Solo Artist was reinstated in 1994, and has been given ever since.[6]
International Male Solo Artist has been won by Beck, Kanye West and Eminem the most times, with three wins. Artists from the United States have almost exclusively won the award, aside from one Australian win (Michael Hutchence), one Jamaican win (Shaggy) and three Canadian wins (Justin Bieber, Drake and the Weeknd).
