CHARLI XCX and Dua Lipa are leading the nods at this year’s Brit Awards, with nominations revealed today ahead of its March 1 ceremony. The Sympathy is a Knife singer, who was nominated for her first Brit a decade ago but has never won any of the four gongs she has been up for, is in the running for five in one go this time around.

They include Artist of the Year, Dance Act, Pop Act and Song of the Year for her Billie Eilish collaboration Guess and Album of the Year for Brat. Close behind Charli with four nominations each are her friend Dua, indie band The Last Dinner Party, and Mercury Prize-winning jazz quintet Ezra Collective.

Speaking on their red-carpet plans, drummer Femi Koleoso said: “When we haven’t prepared properly, we just say: ‘All black.’ So far, it’s all black. If you see anything other than black, then that’s really deliberate.”. Another top contender is Myles Smith, who has three nominations in addition to the Rising Star award he was announced as winning last month.

The Stargazing singer, attending his first Brit Awards, said: “Last year, I was watching it on TV, and to be there this year is something I’m so looking forward to. "It’s such a big occasion, and it’s slap bang in the middle of my tour, so my head is everywhere right now, but I’ll figure it out.”.
