It's the biggest British music awards show of the year that celebrates amazing artists and musicians from the UK, as well as international acts.

The nominations have been released, and some of 2021's most popular artists are up for prizes.

UK singer-songwriters Adele, Ed Sheeran, Dave, Sam Fender and Little Simz have all been nominated for the album of the year and artist of the year.

Little Mix, Coldplay and Wolf Alice are all in the running for Best Group.

This is the first year where the Brits have got rid of separate male and female categories, a decision which they say aims to celebrate "artists solely for their music and work, rather than how they choose to identify or as others may see them."

International acts like BTS, Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish have all had nominations as well.

Now the list have been revealed, there's a long wait until the winners are announced at the awards ceremony in London on 8 February.

Check out the full list of nominees here. And let us know if your favourite artists have made the list!
