You speak the truth.
The Brits. Won by people who sell lots of records
Mercury Prize. Won by people who dont sell many records.
If said awards are about "pop music", then , by definition, that means "popular"...so perhaps the Brits is more relevant for the genre.
It was more fun when folks caused "controversy" though.
