The majority of it’s sales should come from the 2023 calendar year.

I really do hope this happens, and I’ll be truly disappointed if we see pop and R&B lumped together again next year. – I am really hoping they FINALLY listen to the criticism they received this year, and create a Best R&B/Soul Act category. I wonder if Shania Twain could be a surprise nominee for Artist, since she scored a #1 album this last week in the UK? Miley Cyrus also seems likely, at least in Song. – International wise, I would say SZA seems like a good bet for Artist & Song. – PinkPantheress is a potential contender, at least for Best New Artist. I’d love to see her debut album get some love too. Despite being released back in October, I wouldn’t be surprised if they still nominated it. – RAYE could be a contender, ‘Escapism.’ has been a big hit and even went #1. – Little Simz’s ‘NO THANK YOU’ album would be a good AOTY contender. I would expect her to also get multiple nominations. – Dua Lipa is expected to drop her third studio album this year.

– Lewis Capaldi’s album has been announced for a May release, so I would imagine he will also be a likely nominee in Artist, Album and Song. – Ed Sheeran has confirmed he’s dropping an album this year, so he’s more or less a lock for Artist, Album and Song of the Year. So I’m assuming it now runs from December to December?

It’s still very early days, and not many British acts have even released music so far!Īlso, I’m not even sure how the BRITs eligibility works? I originally assumed it ran from January 1 to December 31, because Stormzy & Harry both got nominated back in 2020 for their respective albums that dropped in December 2019, however this year just gone, we saw the Elton John & Ed Sheeran ‘Merry Christmas’ song nominated, as well as ‘Peru’ by Fireboy DML & Ed Sheeran, both of which were released in December 2021.
