Annika Wins Top Prize at Denmark's P3 Guld Music Awards

Danish singer Annika has won the main prize at P3 Guld. P3 Guld is a major annual music award in Denmark. The event took place on Friday at DR Koncerthuset in Copenhagen. Public broadcaster DR hosts the show through its youth radio station, P3.

Annika is 21 years old. Her full name is Annika Wedderkopp. She started her career by posting piano videos on TikTok. Her big breakthrough came in 2024 with the song Knuser hjerter. Later that year, she won the P3 Talentet award. She released her debut album AW last year. She also opened the Orange Stage at Roskilde Festival.

The P3 jury praised her authentic songs about breakups and love. She beat fellow nominees Zar Paulo and producer Anton Westerlin. Westerlin is also her boyfriend. Last year, Annika lost this award to the band Aphaca.

Other artists also won awards on Friday. Guldimund and Saveus won the listeners choice prize for Vil du noget. Zar Paulo won the P3 Live award for live performances. Danish Faroese singer Friða Saiya won the new artist award, Næste.

The event faced criticism over gender balance among performers. Only two women performed alongside twelve men. DR Ung editorial head Ditte Christiane Jensen defended the lineup. She stated that artistic quality is not about gender. CPH Post reported the news.
