I think it's a pretty good set of nominations for once. Apart from the International Female category perhaps.

But I tried to think amazing British album that made a decent splash outside of the fanbase and can't think of any, apart from Headie One, which could've been there. Then there are some indie rock albums, but even though I like Idles' album, it has zero relevance for general public. The 1975 perhaps, but that was weaker than their usual efforts.

Is it just based on any release now? If that’s the case won’t the same artists just clog up the same categories year in and year out? I mean I guess both Cardi B and Billie will be nominated again next year as they’re both probably releasing albums this year.

I was always expecting her to be there, it was critically very well recieved I'm not surprised at all at her making the British Female list but the AOTY nominations usually tend to be more commercially successful than this, or at least going to more established names, no? (Then again 'What's Your Pleasure?' is also a little less successful than AOTY noms usually are so perhaps they're just finally moving away from that award being so biased to the best selling albums)

The brits is for commercial success but she did do well with the album peak wise I guess!

Good to see though

Break the tension Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 88,874 User: 51	I can't get over Billie being nominated for International Female despite basically doing nothing, except for a Bond theme song that nobody really remembers. Plenty of other artists could have been given that nomination instead. It's so ridiculous that I'd even say Ava Max deserved a nomination more.
