Named and shamed

X-Factor winner Steve Brookstein won worst British album while Lee Ryan narrowly beat James Blunt to the worst British male solo award.

Ms Dynamite picked up worst urban act. The singer was recently ordered to complete 60 hours of community service for assaulting a police officer outside a London nightclub.

Six-strong US dance troupe Pussycat Dolls were named worst international breakthrough act.
