The nominees for this year’s Brit Awards have been unveiled.
On Wednesday afternoon, the contenders at the biggest night in British music were announced, with homegrown performers as well as big names from the international music scene all receiving recognition.
After a massive 2023 that included the release of her debut album, her biggest headlining tour to date and a stand-out performance at Glastonbury, Raye is leading the way when it comes to nominations, with seven in total.
This sets a new record for the most nominations any artist has ever received in a single year, with Raye in contention for Album Of The Year, Artist Of The Year and two separate Song Of The Year nods.
Also up for multiple awards are music producer and DJ Calvin Harris, chart-topping star Dua Lipa (who will also be performing on the big night) and rappers Central Cee, J Hus and Dave.

Ahead of this year’s nominations, organisers made a few tweaks to the Brits categories, following controversy surrounding last year’s ceremony.
The Best British Act category now has 10 nominations instead of the original five, as does its international counterpart, while the Best Pop/R&B Act has now been split into two separate awards.
The 2024 Brit Awards are due to take place at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday 2 March.
