It looks like Charli XCX is finally about to get her flowers from the Brit Awards.
More than a decade on from her initial pop breakthrough moment, Charli had only previously racked up four nominations at the Brits, without a win to her name (despite being more than deserving of recognition in several past years).
Or, at least, that was the case until Thursday afternoon, when it was revealed that she was one of the leading nominees ahead of this year’s ceremony, off the back of her game-changing Brat album.
The singer-songwriter is in the running for five awards this year in total, including the coveted Album Of The Year title, as well as Artist Of The Year, Song Of The Year and nods in the specific pop and dance categories.
Just behind on four nods are the British jazz group Ezra Collective, whose album Dance, No One’s Watching has seen them nominated for Album Of The Year, Group Of The Year, Best Alternative/Rock Act and – perhaps controversially, given they’re now onto their third album, with a Mercury Prize win already to their name – Best New Artist.
Matching Ezra Collective on four nominations each are Dua Lipa and The Last Dinner Party, while Stargazing singer Myles Smith has an extra three to go with his recent Rising Star win.
The Cure’s 2024 comeback has also earned them three nominations, the same number as Central Cee and Billie Eilish this year.
But let’s face it, you’re here for the full list – so here are all the nominees for this year’s Brit Awards…
