English indie rock band Florence and the Machine, sometimes known as Florence And the Machine, was founded in London in 2007 and features lead vocalist Florence Welch, keyboardist Isabella Summers, guitarist Rob Ackroyd, harpist Tom Monger, and additional musicians. The band's music has earned praise from the media, particularly the BBC, who contributed significantly to their ascent to fame by promoting them as part of BBC Music Introducing. They won the Brit Awards "Critics' Choice" category in the 2009 ceremony. Welch's powerful voice and the band's dramatic, unique production style have made their music legendary. Lungs, the band's first studio album, debuted at number two on the U.K. Albums Chart for its first five weeks after its release on July 6, 2009. The album topped the charts on January 17, 2010, after spending twenty-eight weeks there in a row. One of the best-selling albums of 2009 and 2010 as of October 2010, the album had spent 65 consecutive weeks in the UK's top forty charts. Ceremonials, the group's second studio album, debuted at number one in the U.K. and number six in the U.S. charts when it was released in October 2011. How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, the band's third studio album, was released on June 2, 2015. It topped the U.K. charts and made its first appearance at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200. Eight different countries, out of a possible twenty, had the album at number one. Welch became the first British female headliner of the twenty-first century when the band performed as the main attraction at Glastonbury Festival in 2015 as well. Rock and soul are only two of the genres that have been combined to create Florence and the Machine's distinctive sound. In 2010, "Lungs," a 2009 album, won the Brit Award for Best British Album. The Grammy Awards have nominated Florence and the Machine for six honors, including Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album. The band also played at the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Concert at the 2010 MTV Video Mu.
