Charli xcx leads male-dominated Brit awards nominations – with first Beatles nod since 1977
Brat scores the British pop star five nominations, while male acts make up 53% of the overall field and mixed acts 12%
xcx is nominated for album, artist and song of the year – the latter for the remix of Guess featuring Billie Eilish – and in the dance and pop genre categories. But despite xcx painting the British music industry’s annual party a violent shade of lime green, women remain underrepresented in this year’s nominations, accounting for 34.7% of the 98 slots. At the newer end of the scale, Stargazing singer Smith is this year’s Rising Star winner, tipped by the industry for major success, and is also nominated for new artist, song and pop act.
