The Brit Award nominations for 2023 have revealed that Harry Styles and Wet Leg are both up for four BRIT awards each while International Artist of the Year sees nominations for global superstars Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo and Taylor Swift, with Beyoncé, Lizzo and Swift all also up for International Song of the Year.
2023 will see the continuation of the four public voted genre awards for Alternative/Rock, Dance, Hip Hop/Grime/Rap and Pop/R&B, which were introduced last year.
Out in front with four nominations apiece for the 2023 Brit Awards are Styles and Isle of Wight duo Wet Leg.
Styles will face off against Central Cee, George Ezra, Stormzy and Fred again for Artist of the Year – which was won by Adele last year in its inaugural year – and Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, 2023 Rising Star nominee Cat Burns and Sam Smith in the Pop/R&B Act category.
The International categories also see debut nominations for Blackpink and Gabriels in International Group of the Year, and for Jack Harlow and Gayle in International Song of the Year – which also sees We Don’t Talk About Bruno from the Disney animated film Encanto receiving a nomination – Disney’s first ever original song to top the UK Singles Chart.
In December, The Brits announced the winner of this year’s Rising Star supported by BBC Radio 1 award as FLO, the first ever group to win this award.
The winners of the four genre categories – Rock/Alternative Act, Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act, Dance Act, Pop/R&B Act – will be determined by a public vote via TikTok, which will open on January 19 at midday.
