But way before Tuesday's glamorous ceremony, CBBC Newsround Online decided to carry out its own music poll.
Using the nominees for the Brits, we gave you the chance to vote for the people you wanted to see honoured.
Turns out you guys are pretty much in tune with the Brits' judges - you voted for the same winners in seven of the awards' 14 categories.
The Darkness were the big winners at the Brits, but your big winner was Dido.
She came top in your best British female, best British single and best British album categories.
You didn't let The Darkness miss out, though. You named them best British rock - an award they also picked up at the Brits.
Christina didn't win any Brits, but you gave her two gongs - for best international female and best international album.
You agreed with the Brits' judges in giving Busted best pop and best British breakthrough.
Black Eyed Peas, Evanescence, Will Young, Radiohead and Big Brovaz didn't win a sausage at the Brits.
But they can take heart that you guys thought they were winners!
