- Jan 24, 2025
AceShowbiz - The 2025 BRIT Awards nominations have been unveiled, and Charli XCX is leading the charge with an impressive five nominations. The Essex-born pop sensation is up for Artist of the Year, Mastercard Album of the Year for her chart-topping album "Brat," Song of the Year for her hit "Guess" featuring Billie Eilish, as well as Dance Act and Pop Act categories.
Following closely behind with four nominations each are Dua Lipa, The Last Dinner Party, and Ezra Collective. Dua Lipa, with her esteemed BRIT Awards history, enters the fray with album "Radical Optimism" contending for Album of the Year, and her single "Training Season" vying for Song of the Year.
A standout mention goes to The Beatles, who have secured their first BRIT nomination since 1977 for Song of the Year with "Now and Then." The last time the legendary group was recognized at the BRIT Awards was during its inaugural ceremony, making this nomination a historic moment.
The 2025 BRIT Awards ceremony will take place at The O2 in London on March 1. Comedian Jack Whitehall will host the event, which will be broadcast live on ITV1 and the streaming service ITVX. New this year, fans can participate in determining the winners of the five genre awards via a WhatsApp voting campaign that runs from January 31 to February 14.
This year's nominees illustrate the broad and diverse landscape of contemporary British music. Damian Christian, the chair of the BRIT Committee, remarked, "Partnering with WhatsApp for the first time will add a new and exciting element to the voting process and will bring even more fans closer to the show."
First-time nominees like Leeds-based English Teacher, and rising stars like Myles Smith, who won the BRIT Rising Star award, add fresh faces to the lineup. Smith is also in the running for Best New Artist and Song of the Year for "Stargazing."
The international categories feature heavyweights like Beyonce Knowles, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, and more. As the countdown to March 1 begins, anticipation is mounting. Stay tuned for what promises to be an unforgettable night celebrating the best in British and international music.
