The nominations for the Brit Awards 2022 are here and Dave, Adele, Ed Sheeran and Little Simz lead the nominations at the inaugural ceremony.
In a bid to be more inclusive and reflective of modern Britain, gendered categories have been scrapped in favour of gender-neutral categories.
18 females have been nominated – making this the most female inclusive list of Brit Award nominees since 2010.
