Olivia Dean and Lola Young, two of 2025’s biggest breakout stars, dominate the nominations for this year’s Brit Awards, each receiving five nods.
They are contenders for artist of the year alongside former winners Lily Allen, Dave, and Little Simz. Sam Fender, fresh off a Mercury Prize win, has four nominations, including album of the year and best single for his collaboration with Dean, “Rein Me In.” Indie band Pulp also marks their return with a nomination, their first since 1996.
