Dua Lipa leads the charge at this year's Brit Awards with five nominations, including best album. The singer, whose hit single New Rules was one of the breakout hits of last year, is also up for best female, best video, best single and British breakthrough artist. She narrowly beat Ed Sheeran's four nominations, while J Hus and Rag'n'Bone Man have three apiece. They are all up for best British album, as is Stormzy's Gang Signs and Prayer. The fan-voted best video category sees a fight between three former members of One Direction.
Harry Styles' Sign of the Times will go up against Zayn and Taylor Swift's I Don't Wanna Live Forever and Liam Payne's Strip That Down. "The fact that we've just come out of our band and everyone's already up for these things, it's fantastic. "I'm not going to put a bet on myself," he added. "There was some fantastic music out last year. I'm just happy to be part of that." The star also revealed the last time he had been to the Brits, he and his partner Cheryl Tweedy "were still in hiding with our relationship". "We snuck out of the Brits together, and we bumped into every single newspaper person we could possibly bump into - which I thought was really hilarious!" Two years later, she returned to London alone to pursue music, while scraping a living in bars and pubs. After a series of increasingly popular singles, she found success with last summer's female empowerment anthem New Rules, in which the star writes a four-step plan for avoiding her ex.
She ended the year as the UK's most-streamed female artist on Spotify, while her eye-catching New Rules video has been watched more than 892 million times on YouTube.
