So much has happened in British Music including the recent loss of rock legend David Bowie, One Direction going on a hiatus and of course the bombastic return of Adele.
The British songstress along with James Bay and Years & Years all tied for most Brit Awards nominations with four. Calvin Harris and Jess Glynne each earned three nods. International nominees include Bjork and Lana Del Rey for International Female, while the likes of Drake, The Weeknd and Justin Bieber will battle it out for International Male.
