context_page_description: The Brit Award for International Breakthrough Act was an award given by the British Phonographic Industry, an organisation which represents record companies and artists in the United Kingdom. The accolade used to be presented at the Brit Awards, an annual celebration of British and international music. The winners and nominees are determined by the Brit Awards voting academy with over one-thousand members, which comprise record labels, publishers, managers, agents, media, and previous winners and nominees.
  The award was first presented in 1988 as awards as "International Newcomer" which were won by Terence Trent D'Arby.
  In 2003 the award was renamed to "International Breakthrough Act".
  The accolade was not handed out at the 2008 and 2009 ceremonies and has been defunct as of 2013.
