Adele and Ed Sheeran have both been nominated for four nods including artist of the year and song of the year (Easy On Me, Bad Habits).  Following behind with two nominations each, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, and Olivia Rodrigo.

 

This year will also make some history – this will be the first time the Brit Awards will combine the male and female categories in both artist of the year and international artist.  According to Billboard, “Females took two of the five spots for artist of the year (Adele and Little Simz), but four of the five spots for international artist (Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift). Eilish won a Brit Award as female international artist in each of the last two years. Swift won a global icon award last year.”

 

The 2022 Brit Awards will happen on Feb. 8, 2022, inside London’s O2 Arena.
