The 2009 BRIT Awards ceremony took place on Wednesday 18 February 2009. It was the 29th edition of the British Phonographic Industry's annual pop music awards. The awards ceremony was held at Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London, and was broadcast live on ITV1 on 18 February at 8pm (GMT).[1] Duffy became the first female artist to ever win three awards in the same year, and only Blur, in 1995, have ever won more awards at a single ceremony.[2] The show was advertised as live by ITV but the broadcast included several audio deletions which means the show was shown on a time delay system. The 2009 BRIT Awards ceremony was watched by 5.49 million people and was the 32nd most watched programme on TV on the week ending 22 February.[3]
