I think it's gonna be an interesting fight between Dave and Sam Fender for best male and best album

but they should give it to Sam Fender

we haven't heard Adele's album so hard to tell but sure she'll get best female minimum

 

International female seems very competitive with Taylor, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, very biased but hopefully they nominate Lana too

 

can't see L Mix nominated or performing, hope it's all little indie artists for best band

 

Honestly don't really like Dave's kind of music, but looking impartially I think his album is probably the far more innovative and talented work of the two.

I would just like to see Sam Fender get nominated for best album as he was robbed when he wasn’t nominated for ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ in 2020.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Adele equal Robbies record of 13 (solo) Awards

Wouldn’t Adele have to win like 5 awards in one night to equal Robbie. Given they barely have any awards to hand out these days, that’s a tall order to win the most ever at the brits. Incidentally both Adele and Blur do hold the record for the most won in a night, four.

She could only win maximum four I think, pending any new categories, and even that would be including a global icon/outstanding achievement win...! British Single / Album / Female are the others.

Yeah I was thinking she’d have to win, single, album, best female and then the global icon if that’s becoming a yearly thing and that’s still only 4. It’s my only gripe with the Brits as It is my favourite awards show, but there’s just so little awards wise, it’s a bit disappointing the different generes and international Artists aren’t represented very well.

Adele is currently on 9 awards and would be the odds on favourite for the Best Female and Best Album, The best Song is always a weird one as there has been a few surprises of the last decade or so but she could win the Global award and if they bring in the Brits Icon Award then she would be favourite for that? As Taylor Swift won this year and she has been around a similar amount of time as Adele

Coldplay for Best British Group

Adele for Best British Female Solo Artist & British Album of the Year

Ed Sheeran for Best British Male Artist

I think Sam Fender might be a good shout for best British male actually

Adele, Adele & Adele.

He deserves it but it would be unusual for the Brits to be that progressive.

Would Glass Animals “Heat Waves” be eligible for best single? If so could be quite a contender assuming they snub Ed again. Doubt they’ll give Adele best single somehow too.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cold Heart take best single seeing as its been a smash around the world and they would love to have someone as high profile as Elton attend

That's a good point actually. But in all fairness, Bad Habits deserves it. 11 weeks at number 1, and hasn't left top 10 yet.

It's been confirmed that they've dropped the Gender categories for 2022 and added four genre awards:

Full category list is:

 

Artist of the Year sponsored by YouTube Music

Group of the Year

BRITs Rising Star supported by BBC Radio 1

Best New Artist

Song of the Year with Mastercard

Mastercard Album of the Year

International Artist of the Year

International Group of the Year

Alternative/Rock Act

Pop/R&B Act

Dance Act

Hip Hop/Rap/Grime Act

 

Mo Gilligan will be hosting the awards. I think that's quite a decent booking - Jack Whitehall presenting it was getting a bit stale tbh.

I’m pleased that there’s genre categories included now they’ve scrapped the gender ones.

 

Is Rising Star the new critics choice? And New artist the best artist who first released in the last release period (is that right)

I’m glad also and they appear to be fan voted which is interesting.

 

Yeah I’m pretty sure your right about Rising Star and New Artist.

I’m glad they’ve brought back the genres, I’ve been saying for a while I thought they should. Although a little perplexed as to why pop and RnB have been put together. I think they should be separate tbh.

 

Not sure what to make of the removal of the gender awards. I guess in a way the music and the artist are what should be awarded and that’s what’s happening here. I do wish the international category had a song/album part to it.

finally!

only think that doesn't make sense is Pop/R&B together

It's gonna get tough then. Artist of the year - Ed or Adele?
