X-Factor boy band JLS were crowned Best Newcomers at the Music of Black Origin Awards last night.
The boys, including Croydon's own Jonathan "JB" Gill, also won Best Song at the Mobos with Beat Again.
The lads failed to win the X Factor crown after being beaten by Alexandra Burke last year but that has not stopped them embarking on a highly successful pop career.
In July, HMV in Croydon were forced to turn desperate fans away when the band came to sign copies of the single.
And several fans were hurt in a crush for tickets for a show they put on at the Fairfield Halls last year.
