Charli XCX leads Brit Awards 2025 nominations with five nods

Charli XCX leads the nominations for the 2025 Brit Awards with five, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for her collaboration with Billie Eilish on 'Guess.' Close behind are Dua Lipa, The Last Dinner Party, and Ezra Collective, each receiving four nominations. This year's nominations reflect a male-dominated landscape, with women accounting for only 34.7% of the total slots. Notably, The Beatles receive their first nomination since 1977 for 'Now and Then,' while The Cure returns to the awards for the first time in over 30 years. Rising star Myles Smith and solo artist Jade Thirlwall from Little Mix also make headlines with their nominations, highlighting emerging talent alongside established acts. The Brit Awards ceremony is set to take place on March 1 at London's O2 Arena.
