Jess Glynne
It’s been a whirlwind year for Jess Glynne, who now matches the record of the most Number One singles by a British solo female.

Attitude Award Winner
MUSIC BREAKTHROUGH AWARD
It’s unlikely that any winner of an Attitude Music Breakthrough Award will ever break through quite so spectacularly as 25-year-old North Londoner Jess Glynne did in 2015. The voice of last year’s biggest UK smash Rather Be, which she recorded with Clean Bandit, Glynne has personally remained little known until recently. Yet within the space of the last 18 months, she has matched the current record held by Cheryl Fernandez-Versini of the most Number One singles by a British solo female (five) – a remarkable achievement which in contrast, took Cheryl five years to achieve.
