Following last week’s announcement of their shortlist of nominees, the BRITs have crowned Rag’N’Bone Man the winner for 2017 Critics’ Choice. Buzz for Rag’N’Bone Man’s massive single, “Human,” co-written by Reservoir writer Jamie Hartman, is swelling worldwide. The single topped iTunes charts in twenty-three countries, has been #1 in Germany for ten consecutive weeks, and topped the UK’s Trending chart for two weeks and counting. This is the second time Hartman has collaborated with a Critics’ Choice winner prior to their win, as he co-wrote 2015 champ James Bay’s “Moving Together,” the song that got Bay signed to Universal’s Republic Records.

Rag’N’Bone Man was nominated alongside pop singers Anne-Marie and Dua Lipa, both of whom also have current singles co-written by Reservoir writers. Anne-Marie’s solo single “Alarm” and “Rockabye” peformed alongside Clean Bandit and Sean Paul were both co-written by Ina Wroldsen, while Dua Lipa’s current single “Blow Your Mind (Muah)“, is co-written by Lauren Christy.
