Music Week can reveal that Alfie Templeman and Mimi Webb (above) are the latest acts to be added to BBC Radio 1’s Brit List, as the station continues its pledge to support emerging British music.
The Brit List offers chosen acts support across playlists, social media, editorial and live. It guarantees each artist three playlist appearances, including a spot on the A-list if they haven’t previously appeared there. Earlier this year, Radio 1 added guaranteed TV support to its Brit List offering, with acts given the opportunity to star on shows including Later… With Jools Holland and Top Of The Pops.
Previous Brit List act Griff played on Later… earlier this year, while fellow alumni Tion Wayne and Celeste have both topped the charts this year. Stormzy, Lewis Capaldi and Lewis Capaldi are among the other acts the Brit List has supported.
