Here’s a list of all the nominations for the Brit Awards 2021
The Brit Awards 2021 nominations have finally been announced. This year the women dominate the prestigious Album of the Year category.
Last year the Brit Awards were dominated by the males. The clear gender disparity could be confirmed in British pop. But this year’s nomination goes the other way round maintaining a balance.
The year’s leading nominations are singer Dua Lipa, Celeste, and singer-songwriter Arlo Parks, with three nods each.
“Women have always made great music and wonderful albums, but this is the first time in the entire Brits history that we have dominated the best album category,” said Jessie Ware. “The time is now – albeit long overdue – to start respecting and appreciating the vital role women, and their music, play in the British music industry.”
Out of 176 eligible albums, 121 were made by men or male groups, 55 by women or groups featuring women, and one by a non-binary artist, Sam Smith.
The Brit Awards will go on-air on 11 May.
