Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran leads the way at this year's Brit Awards, with four nominations.
The 20-year-old The A Team singer has received nods for best male, breakthrough act, best single and best album for his debut, called +.
Organisers of the event have also confirmed that multi-million selling artist Adele will perform live at this year's ceremony, which takes place at the O2 Arena on 21st February.
Ecstatic Sheeran told the BBC that he was "really happy and pleased" to have been recognised this year.
He will be up against James Blake, James Morrison, Professor Green and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds in the best male category.
Adele, who was out of action last year after undergoing surgery on her throat, is also nominated in three categories - best female, best single for Someone Like You and album for 21.
This year's statues were designed by veteran British artist Sir Peter Blake.
