The Mercury Prize celebrates the best in U.K. and Irish music and the artists who make it. Twelve 'Albums of the Year' have been chosen across a range of genres, and the final winner will be announced on Thursday, October 22 at 9:30 p.m. BST, which happens to be around 3:30 p.m. Central Time.

Since we won’t know the winner until after The Morning Show, let’s take a look at some of the artists who won The Mercury in the past. Take a look at the list of previous winners, and let’s create a playlist full of winners.
