LONDON, U.K. --

Duffy led the Brit Awards on Wednesday night, picking up three awards at the music ceremony.

The Welsh chanteuse won Best Female, Best Album and Best British Breakthrough Act for her debut album, “Rockferry.”

Despite four nominations, Coldplay walked away without any trophies. Like-minded rock band Elbow won Best British Group, and pop quintet Girls Aloud notched Best Single for “The Promise.”

Rounding out the categories, former The Jam frontman Paul Weller won Best British Male, while Katy Perry, Kanye West and Kings of Leon picked up awards in the international categories.
