Olivia Dean is Apple Music’s Artist of the Year for 2026
From the official release
Olivia’s late 2025 album, The Art of Loving, truly broke through this year. Her hit “Man I Need” has charted on Apple Music’s Daily Top 100 every day since first appearing on August 29, 2025. In addition to selling out her global tour, she won a GRAMMY for Best New Artist and four BRIT Awards, including Artist of the Year. In fall 2025, Olivia opened for Sabrina Carpenter at Madison Square Garden, in New York City. Less than a year later, she returned for her own four-night residency and followed up with a six-night sold-out run at The O2 Arena, in London.
