BRIT Awards 2018 nominations: Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran lead the way
This year’s BRIT Awards will be broadcast live from London’s O2 Arena on February 21.
The nominations for the BRIT Awards 2018 have been announced, with Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran and Rag’n’Bone Man leading the way with the most nods.
Dua is up for five gongs at this year’s ceremony, including British Female, British Breakthrough and the coveted Album of the Year with her self-titled debut – the only female act in the category.
She’s also up for British Breakthrough following her success in 2017, as well as British Single and Video for her viral smash and chart-topping single New Rules.
Unsurprisingly, Ed Sheeran has earned himself a few nominations after a phenomenally successful year – he’s up for British Male, Album of the Year and British Single and Video for Shape Of You. You may remember he had the Official biggest single and album of 2017.
