The 2016 BBC Music Awards took place on 12 December in London at ExCeL London. Two new awards were introduced, the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Performance of the Year award and the BBC Radio 2 Album of the Year award. The first winner of the former was The 1975, who performed "What Makes You Beautiful" (originally by One Direction) and the winner of the latter award was Adele for her album 25. Adele was also nominated for Artist of the Year, but lost out to Coldplay in that category.
The awards were hosted by Fearne Cotton, Claudia Winkleman and Gemma Cairney. Niki and Sammy Albon were backstage hosts.[1]
