She is the most nominated British singer in the history of the awards.
Singer-songwriter Raye has received a record seven nominations for the 2024 Brit Awards.
She is now the most nominated British female singer in the history of the awards.
Raye broke the record previously held by Craig David, Gorillaz and Robbie Williams with nominations in six categories each.
London-born Raye is up for Artist of the Year, in which six women and four men are nominated, as well as Best Album, Best New Artist, Best Pop Artist and Best Song for ‘Escapism’, with US rappers 070 Shake and “Prada”, collaboration with Casso and D-Block Europe.
After strong criticism in 2023, when the Best Female Artist and Best Male Artist categories were combined, for the absence of women from nominations in the new Artist of the Year category, organizers have announced 10 contenders for the awards this year.
Dua Lipa is nominated in three categories and top rappers Central Cee and J Hus are up for Artist of the Year along with Arlo Parks, Dave, Fred again…, Jessie Ware, Little Simz and Olivia Dean.
Up for the Album of the Year award will be Blur, Little Simz and Young Fathers, with the latter celebrating their indie-focused fourth studio album Heavy Heavy.
Burna Boy, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey and others are nominated in the International Artist of the Year category.
