Olivia Dean and Lola Young, two of 2025's biggest breakout stars, dominate the nominations for this year's Brit Awards, with five each.

Both are on the shortlist for artist of the year, alongside former Brit-winners such as Lily Allen, Dave and Little Simz.

Sam Fender follows his Mercury Prize win with four nominations, including album of the year and best single for his duet with Dean called Rein Me In.

And reunited indie band Pulp receive their first nomination since 1996 - the year of Jarvis Cocker's infamous stage invasion during Michael Jackson's performance of Earth Song.
