First held in 1977, the Brits have given us a host of memorable incidents, from Jarvis Cocker’s protest against Michael Jackson and Chumbawamba throwing a bucket of water over John Prescott, to Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack dress and the ‘interesting’ hosting style of Mick Fleetwood and Samantha Fox.
This year's event will take place this weekend, with singer-songwriter Raye the first artist to be up for seven awards in a single year.
Even if she were to win them all though, she'd still have a way to go to catch up with these 11 artists - the most successful in Brits history.
