Gavin Patterson, BT’s Managing Director of Consumer comments, “The field of digital music continues to grow and grow and with it so have the BT Digital Music Awards. The level and quality of entries this year reflects how important digital platforms are to music artists – we’re looking forward to see who the winners will be.”

Other winners on the night included Lily Allen for ‘Best Pop Artist’, McFly for ‘Best Official Website’, NME.com for ‘Best Music Magazine’, MySpace for ‘Best Innovation’ and London Elektricity for Best Podcast.
