Leading the pack is Raye, who has broken the record for garnering the most nominations in a single year, with seven in total.

The British singer, 26, is up for Album Of The Year for her long-awaited debut album My 21st Century Blues. Her third single, Escapism, is nominated for Song of the Year.

Raye is also included in the five strong Best New Artist category and will also compete as a nominee in the categories for R&B Act and Pop Act.

She has beat reigning champions Craig David, Robbie Williams and the Gorillaz who all had been nominated for six awards in previous years.

The non-gendered Artist Of The Year Award sparked outrage last year, after it replaced individual Male and Female categories, but then failed to include any female or non-binary artists among its five nominations.

This year however, thanks in part to the category being doubled in size, there are six female nominees out of the 10, including Raye.

Arlo Parks, Jessie Ware, Lil Simz, Olivia Sims and Dua Lipa make up the female nominees, while Central Cee, Dave, J. Hus and Fred Again... are also nominated.

The British Phonograph Industry - who organize the annual event - admit gender balance has been readdressed following last year's controversial decision.

Big hitters Kylie Minogue, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and Miley Cyrus have been nominated for International Artist of the Year.

While Billie Eilish's What Was I Made For, Doja Cat's Paint The Town Red and Olivia Rodrigo's Vampire are all up for International Song of the Year.

Dua Lipa's limited output over the last year hasn't stopped her featuring in two additional categories at the forthcoming event.

The singer's latest single, Houdini - one of only two original tracks to be released by the artist since 2020 album Future Nostalgia - features among the nominees for Song of the Year.

Her global appeal has also helped find a place in the category for Pop Act, despite spending much of the last 12 months touring the world.

Other big names up for awards include Calvin Harris for Song of the Year and Dance Act, while indie band Blur has been nominated for Group of the Year and Alternative Rock group.

The Rolling Stones have also garnered their first nomination in over a decade, making it their fifth nod in total, for Alternative Rock.

The prestigious Album of the Year prize will see Raye compete against J Hus' Beautiful, Little Simz's No Thank You, Blur's The Ballad of Darren and Heavy Heavy from Young Fathers.

While another big category, Song of the Year, is full of strong entries, including Dua's Dance The Night, Kenya Grace's Strangers, Pink Pantheress' Boy's A Liar, Lewis Capaldi's Wish You The Best and Stormzy's Firebae.

Last year's big winner Harry Styles hasn't been nominated for any categories this year after a very successful 2023 BRIT Awards, where he won all four of the categories he was nominated in.

Little Simz features in three categories at this year's event - Artist of the Year, Hip Hop/Grime and Album of the Year.

While Central Cee and J Hus have both snapped up four nominations, including for big awards Artist of the Year and Song of the Year.

In an additional twist, the public will have the power to vote for five categories instead of four compared to previous years.

Kylie is set to be honoured with the Global Icon accolade. 

She has sold over 80M records world-wide and previously won three Brit awards, receiving first nomination in 1989.

Kingsley Ben-Adir, Green Day, Charli XCX, Ashley Walters, Joe Keery, Aitch, Jaime WinstoneJonathan BaileyLuke Evans and actress Marisa Abel of the Amy Winehouse film Back to Black will help present the awards. 

Earlier this week, Tate McRae was confirmed as the eighth and final performer and is nominated in International Song of the Year for her UK Top 3 and US Billboard Global 200 #1 hit single 'greedy'.

Calvin and Ellie are anticipated to play their mega-hit 'Miracle' at the awards ceremony as they perform for the first time together.

The pair previously collaborated on the dance-pop anthems 'I Need Your Love' in 2012 and 'Outside' in 2014.

Becky Hill and Chase and Status will also come together for a 'celebration of drum and bass' at the ceremony.

The 'Disconnect' hitmaker and the drum and bass duo - comprising Saul Milton (Chase) and Will Kennard (Status) - are nominated for Best Dance Act and Group of the Year, respectively.
