1982

The British Record Industry (BPI) Awards appeared with the first in a series of industry-only events at London’s Grovesnor Hotel and the “new romantics”; made their presence felt with Human League, Adam Ant and Soft Cell all picking up prizes.

Cliff Richard repeated his 1977 win as Best British Male and John Lennon was honoured with the Outstanding Contribution award two years after his death. Hosted by David Jacobs, the show included Queen, Madness and Elvis Costello among the also-rans.
