And the nominees are...
The BRIT Awards 2018 nominees were announced last night.
Taking place on February 21st at The O2 Arena the BRIT Awards will be hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall and Emma Willis.
Dua Lipa leads the pack with five nominations, including MasterCard British Album of the Year and British Female Solo Artist, while, as you'd expect, Ed Sheeran isn't too far behind with four nominations. Other artists with multiple nominations include J Hus, Rag'n'Bone Man, Calvin Harris and, of course, Stormzy.
Internatonal nods go to Drake, Kendrick Lamar, P!nk, Taylor Swift and Childish Gambino, to name but a few.
