The Brit Awards (sometimes stylised as the BRIT Awards; often simply called the Brits) are the British Phonographic Industry's annual pop music awards, and the British equivalent of the American Grammy Awards. The name was originally a shortened form of "British", "Britain" or "Britannia" (in the early days the awards were sponsored by Britannia Music Club), but subsequently became a backronym for British Record Industry Trusts Show.〔(BRITs Duo On Track To Reach Dizzee-ing Heights in UK Charts ) ''British Recorded Music Industry'' Retrieved 28 April 2011〕 In addition, an equivalent awards ceremony for classical music, called the Classic Brit Awards, is held each May. Robbie Williams holds the record for the most Brit Awards, 12 as a solo artist and another five as part of Take That. The awards began in 1977 as part of the commemoration of the Queen's Silver Jubilee and as an annual event in 1982 under the auspices of the British record industry's trade association, the BPI. In 1989 they were renamed the Brit Awards.〔("British Pop's Big Party" ). BBC News. Retrieved 10 December 2012〕 MasterCard has been the long-time sponsor of the event.〔("MasterCard Renews Sponsorship of The BRIT Awards" ). BPI. Retrieved 23 November 2012〕 The Brit Awards were broadcast live until 1989, when Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood hosted a widely criticised show in which little went as rehearsed.〔 In subsequent years, the event was recorded and broadcast the following night. From 2007, the Brit Awards reverted to a live broadcast on British television, on 14 February on ITV.〔 In that year, comedian Russell Brand was presenter and three awards were dropped from the ceremony: Best British Rock Act, Best British Urban Act and Best Pop Act.〔("2007 Brits to be broadcast live" ). BBC. Retrieved 23 November 2012〕 On 18 February 2009, the venue for the BRITs was once again the Earls Court, London. The Brit Awards were held at The O2 in London for the first time in 2011.〔("The BRIT Awards 2011 with MasterCard unveils new location" ). BPI. Retrieved 23 November 2012〕 ==Ceremonies== The first awards ceremony was in 1977, as "The BRITish Record Industry BRITannia Awards", to mark the Queen's Silver Jubilee and was televised by Thames Television. There have been 35 editions to date (with no ceremonies held between 1978 and 1981).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Brit Awards )〕 The 2015 BRIT Awards was held on 25 February 2015. The 1988 BPI Awards was the first of the ceremonies to be broadcast on live television. The BBC had previously broadcast the ceremony from 1985, with the shows from 1982 to 1984 not broadcast on television.〔http://britschool.web7.devwebsite.co.uk/page/?title=The+BRIT+Awards%2C+Classics+%26+MITS+relationship&pid=589〕 BBC continued to broadcast the renamed BRIT Awards, live in 1989 and pre-recorded from 1990 to 1992. ITV have broadcast the awards since 1993, pre-recorded until 2006 and live from 2007 onwards.〔 BBC Radio 1 has provided backstage radio coverage since 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brit Awards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
