The 2015 BBC Music Awards was the second music award show, created out of the BBC's strategy for music, BBC Music, in 2015. The awards were held on 10 December 2015[1] at the new location of the Genting Arena in Birmingham following the closure on 13 December 2014 of the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London, which held the inaugural event. Once again, the awards recognise the biggest and most exciting artists from the previous 12 months, as well as looking forward to new talent in 2016. A panel of judges decides the winners of each category, except 'Song of the Year', which is decided by the public.
The show was hosted by American actor Chris Evans and English television and radio host Fearne Cotton. It was a rainy night and many fans lined up along the red carpet to take photos with the artists arriving.[2]
Adele, Ed Sheeran, Hozier, Major Lazer and The Weeknd all had two nominations apiece, with Adele winning two awards and Hozier winning 'Song of the Year'.

Several artists were unable to make the award show the evening of the event. When Adele had won Performance of the Year and British Artist of the Year, she was on a prerecorded video call to accept the awards. At the time she was in the United States of America and could not be there in person.[4] These awards were given to her after her recent single "Hello" released and helped her maintain her status as a popular artist.[5] American singer, Taylor Swift won the International Artist of the Year award but could not make her appearance at the award show either while she was in Australia for her 1989 World Tour. Taylor also accepted her award over a prerecorded message for the audience. Both artists joked about the weight of the award in their acceptance speech. This joke continued in the evening as performer, Hozier, also referenced the weight of the award during his acceptance speech for Song of the Year for his international hit, "Take Me to Church". He also mentioned the possibility of the award being used as a weapon for the popular board game Cluedo.[4] BBC awarded Jack Garratt for the BBC Introducing Artist of the Year.
