The 'Pirate Brits': the UK's most torrented artists revealed

The UK music industry is set to pat itself on the back at tomorrow's Brit Awards 2012 ceremony, and to mark the occasion, music analytics company Musicmetric has revealed who would win each of the awards based on illegal filesharing figures.

In many cases, the winners- which show which artists/albums/songs have been torrented most by UK users over the past year - will probably be in line with those of The Brits, but some other results are slightly surprising.
