Tomorrow, RAYE takes the stage for a performance at the BRIT Awards, where she is nominated for “Song of the Year” and “Best Pop Act”, fueled by her UK No. 1 smash ‘WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!’ The global hit has amassed over 800 million streams to date, reached No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and marked her second Top 10 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart. The single is certified Double Platinum in Australia; Platinum in the U.S., UK, France, Norway, and New Zealand; and Gold in seven additional territories, which further cements RAYE’s status as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary pop.
RAYE is currently lighting up arenas across Europe and the UK on her sold-out THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC run, joined by her sisters AMMA and ABSOLUTELY. The tour includes six sold-out nights at London’s The O2 before heading to North America for a completely sold-out run, with performances at Radio City Music Hall (April 15–16) and The Greek Theatre (May 12–13). This summer, she will also join Bruno Mars as a special guest on The Romantic Tour for 27 stadium dates across North America. For tickets and additional information, visit RAYEofficial.com.
Since her 2014 debut, the south London native has charted 20 Top 40 UK singles and surpassed over 10 billion cumulative streams. In 2024 RAYE made history winning six BRIT Awards including “Album Of The Year”, the most ever in one year, alongside a total of seven nominations. Other accolades include an Ivor Novello for “Songwriter of the Year” and “Best UK & IE Artist” at the MTV EMAs as well the special Ivors Academy “Songwriter Advocate Award”. She has also been shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and been honoured with Variety’s “Triple Threat” Award, alongside nominations for BET’s “Best International Act” and the MTV VMAs “Video For Good”.
Most recently, RAYE was honoured with the Recording Academy’s “Harry Belafonte Best Song For Social Change” CEO Merit Award for her raw and honest song “Ice Cream Man.” that amplifies the voices of sexual assault survivors. She was also nominated at the 68th Grammy Awards for the music film Live At The Royal Albert Hall—her one-night-only show backed by a 50-piece orchestra and gospel choir—which was released on vinyl and broadcast on the BBC and PBS. RAYE was previously nominated for “Best New Artist” and “Songwriter of the Year (Non-Classical)” at the GRAMMYs in 2025.
