Black Cherry earned the group two awards, including an Ivor Novello Award (The Ivors Dance Award) for the song "Strict Machine".[4] Supernature was released through the same label in August 2005. The album earned Goldfrapp two Grammy Award nominations in the dance category.[5] Their fourth album, Seventh Tree, was released in February 2008. Singles included "A&E", "Happiness" and "Caravan Girl". The music video for "Happiness" earned Goldfrapp and director Dougal Wilson a nomination for Best Pop Video at the UK Music Video Awards.[6] Head First was released in March 2010. The album earned the group two additional Grammy Award nominations.[7]
Other recognitions include the inclusion of Supernature on Rolling Stone magazine's "Top 50 Albums of 2006" list.[8] Goldfrapp have also been recognized by the ASCAP/PRS Awards, BT Digital Music Awards, International Dance Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards and the Q Awards.

Popjustice 20 Quid Music Prize
editThe Popjustice £20 Music Prize, also known as the Popjustice Twenty Quid Prize, is an annual prize awarded by music website Popjustice to recognise the best British pop single of the previous year. The prize was conceived by Popjustice founder Peter Robinson in 2003 as a reaction to what he perceived as the pompous and elitist nature of the existing Mercury Prize, which recognises the best album of the previous year, and in particular its exclusion of pop music acts in favour of those from more esoteric genres. The shortlist for the Popjustice prize is announced in September of each year and the winner named the following month, to coincide with the presentation of the Mercury Prize. Popjustice gives a token prize of £20 to the winner of its award, in contrast to the £20,000 given to the winner of the Mercury Prize.
