Adele unsurprisingly leads Brit Awards nominees alongside James Bay and Years and Years
Hello Adele, it's the Brits...
She made one of the biggest comebacks of 2016 with single Hello and her album 25, so it's little wonder that Adele leads the field in this year's Brit Awards nominations.
The singer secured four nods, including Album of the Year and Best British Single for smash hit track Hello.
She's tied for most nominations with James Bay and Years and Years, who both also secured four each. Calvin Harris and Jess Glynne each earned three nominations.
Former X Factor winners Little Mix scored theiir first ever Brit recognition with two nods for smash hit single Black Magic while Eagles of Death Metal earned a nomination for International Act alongside U2, who they shared the stage with just weeks after their gig became the focus of a terrorist attack in Paris.
