Wet Leg were the favourite's at 7/2 to win the Mercury Music Prize Award with their self titled debut album.

The full shortlist for the Mercury Prize Award was announced last week with 12 acts nominated for the best album of the year.
The full list of nominees are:
- Yard Act - The Overload

Harry Styles biggest name on the list but 18/1 to win the award
Harry Styles is the biggest name on the list of nominees this year with his third album 'Harry's House'.
Styles has been on a world tour for the last few months performing at stadiums such as 90,000 seater Wembley.
The nomination is unlike the Mercury Prize as it's quite rare that they go for an album with critical and commercial success such as this one.
It just goes to show how well Styles has done in his solo career since One Direction went on hiatus back in 2016.
