Mercury Music Prize
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Pour les articles homonymes, voir Mercury.Le Mercury Music Prize (Prix de musique Mercure en français) est une récompense annuelle qui consacre le meilleur album britannique ou irlandais des douze derniers mois. Créé en 1992, elle se veut une alternative aux Brit Awards. Il est attribué par un panel très restreint de personnes issues de l'industrie musicale. On lui reproche souvent de céder à la hype et à la mode. On lui reproche également d'oublier les labels indépendants. Les nominés sont connus le plus souvent au cours du mois de juillet.
L'équivalent français est le Prix Constantin, l'équivalent canadien le Prix de musique Polaris.
