What are we thinking?

Album of the year and Artist of the year noms are a given surely? Also best Pop act I can imagine.

Surely she’ll get a performance slot also? If she does, not sure how she’ll top last year but I’m sure it’ll be epic! Can’t see it being anything other than Plastic Box or Church tbh.

Interestingly, the president of her label has been announced as the chair of the 2026 BRITs Committee which can only bode well:

Sam Fender, Olivia Dean, Lily Allen, Dave, The Last Dinner Party, Pulp, and Florence + the Machine are all more likely to get AOTY before JADE, I think?

Oh yeah I think you're right. And there's only 5 nominees! It's going to be brutal omg.

I just hope she can win something.

Olivia Dean is probably going to win everything JADE could be nominated for

Pop Act is fan voted right? I assume we have that in the bag for her again??

Never say never. Brit album of the year can be a little bit unpredictable. I don't want to get my hopes high, but I'm not ruling out a win for her (ie not just pop act).

I think her album was a fair bit more well received than Florence's. I'm hoping she can snag her spot. Even though Florence is a Brits fav.

And PinkPantheress I'd add in too. I could be wrong but she keeps being left out of discussions despite being a huge global name in 2025 and Fancy That even getting a Mercury nom.

I think Jade will get a Pop Act nod and probably Artist Of The Year too.

You’re right! I keep thinking of it as a mixtape when it’s essentially an album and passes the eligibility criteria.
