Male Artists Dominate The Brit Awards Nominations As Dave And Lewis Capaldi Come Out On Top

Dave and Lewis Capaldi have come out on top ahead of this year’s Brit Awards, with four nominations each.

The full list of contenders were announced on Saturday evening, with Dave and Lewis each up for four awards.

Unfortunately, after last year saw three British women leading the nominees, it’s a decidedly male-heavy shortlist this year, with no women recognised in the Album Of The Year or Group Of The Year categories.

In fact, Mabel is the only female artist with more than one nomination, with three in total, matching her with Stormzy, who is up for Album Of The Year alongside Dave, Lewis Capaldi, Harry Styles and Michael Kiwanuka. 

Mercury Prize-winner Dave has received four Brit Award nominations
