The nominations for the Brit Awards 2022 have been revealed, with Adele, Dave, Ed Sheeran and Little Simz leading the way with four nominations each.
This year, the ceremony has become gender-neutral with categories such as ‘artist of the year’ replacing the traditional ‘British female’ and ‘British male’ categories, with new genre-specific awards for alternative/rock, hip-hop/grime/rap, dance, and pop/R&B.
Sam Fender, Central Cee and David Guetta are nominated for three awards apiece, while Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X each up for two awards, and up against Taylor Swift for International Artist of the Year award.
The ceremony, which takes place on Tuesday 8th February and broadcast on ITV/ ITV Hub, sees the most female artists nominated in over a decade.
