BRITs 2020 Nominations: Dave & Lewis Capaldi Lead The Nods – See The Full List
Dave and Lewis Capaldi have bagged the most nominations at The BRIT Awards 2020 and will go head-to-head in all the same categories including Album Of The Year.
The pair, who each scored four nominations, will also face-off in the categories for Male Solo Artist, Best New Artist and Song Of The Year for ‘Location’ and ’Someone You Loved’.
The BRITs noms top off an incredible 12 months for the pair so it’s no surprise to see them up there with the most nods. Dave won the Mercury Prize for his chart-topping debut album 'Psychodrama' and Lewis was named the UK’s biggest-selling musician of 2019 with both his debut LP 'Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent' and massive single ‘Someone You Loved’ topping both end of year charts.
Elsewhere, in an all-male (and group-less) line-up, also looking to take home the coveted Album Of The Year BRIT award this year are Stormzy ('Heavy Is The Head'), Harry Styles ('Fine Line') and Michael Kiwanuka ('KIWANUKA').
Stormzy, who’s currently celebrating the Official Charts double at No.1 on both the Singles and Albums charts, scores three nominations, as does Mabel who will be competing for Female Solo Artist, Best New Artist and Song Of The Year for ‘Don’t Call Me Up’.
There’s returning nominations for the likes of Michael Kiwanuka, Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey and more, while loads of artists celebrate their first ever BRIT nominations this year: Post Malone, Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Bring Me The Horizon, Normani, AJ Tracey, D-Block Europe, Freya Ridings, Dermot Kennedy, Aitch, Burna Boy and Tyler, The Creator. Check out the full nominations list below.
The 2020 BRITs sees the awards celebrating their 40th major show since launching in 1977 and this year they’ve handed control over to the artists encouraging them to create and curate performances unique to them.
This year there’s also a reduced number of awards with just nine in total being handed out, one of which has already been revealed.
Celeste has already been named the winner of the Rising Star category, formerly known as the Critics’ Choice Award, having been nominated alongside fellow newcomers beabadoobee and Joy Crookes.
'The BRIT Awards 2020 takes place on 18th February at The O2 in London and will again be hosted by Jack Whitehall.'
