So, finally they're here. The Brits!

Both Coldplay and Duffy were shortlisted for four nominations apiece at this year's Brit Awards. They've both been nominated for the British Single and British Album prizes, with Chris Martin and his mates also being put up for British Group and British Live Act.

Scouting For Girls, Adele and Elbow all have three nominations apiece, while the Ting Tings and Estelle have been shortlisted for two along with Girls Aloud.

For international nominations, Kings of Leon, The Killers, AC/DC, MGMT and Fleet Foxes all picked up two nominations.

    • Wonder if those performing art students from the Brit School are still in the audience? -I should know, i used to be one!

      Bit of trivia for ya:

      The Brit school is partly sponsored by the people who put on the Brit Awards (The British Record Industry Trust) .
      It's the only free performing art school in Europe, this makes it feel more down to earth than a number of other music and drama schools which charge extremely high fees making it hard for equality amongst students from a range of financial backgrounds.

      Big up the Brit School- some of the biggest artists in pop have come out of there recently:

      Amy Winehouse
      Adele
      Kate Nash
      The Kooks
      Leona Lewis
      Katie Melua
      Imogen Heap
      The Feeling

      Makes me want to be back in the BRIT's corridors doing jazz hands and handstands:)

      Completely agree with the part about how out of touch Q are, you would have thought that people who's job it is to write about music, would make some more interesting nominations. I suppose Q has always been a mag for 'Dad rockers' anyway. Level 42 anyone?

    • Where's We Are Scientists? I know that album came out during the summer of last year. They gotta show these guys love! Or am I just too much of a dork for them?
