Elsewhere in the Brit Awards nominations list, grime artist Skepta tops the charts with three nominations, for best British male solo artist, British breakthrough act and Album of the Year.

X Factor winners Little Mix have also picked up three nominations: their track ‘Shout Out To My Ex’ is up for best British single, their song ‘Hair’ has a nomination for British Artist Video of the Year, and they're also nominated for best British group of 2017.

Beyoncé and her sister Solange will go head-to-head in the international female solo artist of the year, alongside Rihanna, Sia and Christine and the Queens.
