RAYE is up for Artist of the Year, Mastercard Album of the Year for her debut, My 21st Century Blues (Human Re Sources), Best New Artist, Pop Act, R&B Act and two nods for Song of the Year. The previous record of six noms was held by Gorillaz (2002), Craig David (2001) and Robbie Williams (1999).

Dua Lipa has three nods: Artist of the Year, Pop Act and Song of the Year. She’s the first artist confirmed to perform at the main show in London on 3/2.
Central Cee and J Hus both have four nods, while Blur, Little Simz and Young Fathers have three. Also up for three awards are Calvin Harris, Dave and Olivia Dean.
2024 also sees the first BRIT nomination for The Rolling Stones in over a decade, in the Alternative/Rock Act category.
