Yeah, how foolish of me. It is just British artists. My bad.
In that case, I'm satisfied with James Blake as a winner here.

Quick life lesson: The minority will always rule the majority, not everyone was made to be a leader. Most will blindly follow. And most people especially when it comes to different forms of media are incapable of formulating their own opinions and therefore it is necessary for the radio to shape the listening habits of casuals and the press/critiques to shape the listening habits of those that pretend they like music (really they just like getting told what to like)
