Brit Awards 2022 Nominations Revealed | MarkMeets UK Entertainment

Adele ties with Ed Sheeran, Little Simz and Dave for the most nominations. They receive four apiece, and all feature in the prestigious best album and best British artist categories.

Sam Fender completes the shortlist for those awards, and picks up a third citation for best rock artist. Rap newcomer Central Cee also achieves three nominations, including best new artist.
Little Mix, who this year became the first female act to win best British group, are in the running for that prize once again.

Their competition includes Coldplay, who receive a record ninth nomination in the category (they’ve won four times) alongside grime act D-Block Europe and two female-fronted bands, Wolf Alice and London Grammar.

And Abba seal their triumphant return by being shortlisted for best international band.
It’s the Swedes’ first nomination since the first ever Brit Awards in 1977 – when they lost the international album prize to Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water.

This time around, they go up against K-pop giants BTS, Eurovision winners Måneskin, indie band The War On Drugs and Bruno Mars’s 1970s throwback project, Silk Sonic.

A total of 13 artists got double nominations, including Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, Glass Animals, Wolf Alice and Dua Lipa.

Lipa’s manager, Ben Mawson, was among those who supported the Brits going gender-neutral.

“It’s good to see the Brits continuing to make progress to a more inclusive awards show that puts talent first,” he told the BBC last month. “It’s a step that we welcome.”

The prizes will be handed out on 8 February, 2022 at London’s O2 Arena, with comedian Mo Gilligan taking over from Jack Whitehall as the host.

The ceremony will also see the introduction of four new genre awards – recognising the best pop, rock, dance and hip-hop acts of the year. Winners in those categories will be determined by a public vote via TikTok.
The nominations for the 2022 BRIT Awards have been revealed, with Adele, Ed Sheeran, Little Simz and Dave leading the way with four nods each.

All four artists will also go head-to-head in the coveted Album Of The Year category and Artist Of The Year, both along with Sam Fender, following a hugely successful year for each of them.
