Singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding has won the Brit Awards Critics' Choice prize for the act most likely to break through in 2010.
The winner has been announced two months before the ceremony, with Delphic and Marina & The Diamonds named as runners up.
Goulding, who has yet to make the top 40, will collect her award live at the Brits Award ceremony on February 16.
The 22 year old will also perform at the Brits nomination launch at The IndigO2 on January 18 which will be televised on ITV2.
The previous two winners, Adele and Florence and The Machine, have both had massive success in their careers so far.
The award is for emerging acts which music critics, plus radio and TV music supremos, believe will make a breakthrough in 2010. It is open to signed acts who release their debut albums in the coming year.
Ged Doherty, Brits chairman said: "We have no doubt that Ellie Goulding will follow in the successful footsteps of Adele and Florence and the Machine”.
He added “we wish her all the best."
