Bisexual singer Jessie J is celebrating after being nominated for three awards at this year's BRITS.
The star has been nominated for best female, British breakthrough act and British single for her song Price Tag.
She took to Twitter to thank her fans, saying: "3 Brits Nominations?! I'm on cloud 9! It was only last year I was the 'Critics Choice' and no one really knew who I was! My fans are unstoppable. I am so grateful! #heartbeats #dreamscometrue THANK YOU!"
PJ Harvey’s Let England Shake has been nominated in the prestigious Best British Album category.
Since being released to wide-spread acclaim in February last year, Let England Shake was awarded the Barclaycard Mercury Prize for Album of the Year, making Harvey the only artist to have received this award twice, previously winning in 2001 for Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea. It has also been recognised as the best album of 2011 by some of the most influential publications worldwide*, described by The Guardian as “..a genuinely great piece of war art… that speaks urgently to our times.”
EMI Music artists and partners picked up nine nominations when the shortlists were unveiled, last night.
Coldplay are nominated twice, in the British Group and Mastercard British Album Of The Year categories, while Laura Marling, who won British Female Solo Artist last year, is once again in the running for this award.
Other nominees include Noel Gallagher, Professor Green, Kate Bush, David Guetta and Lady Antebellum.
Emeli Sandé, who will receive the Critic's Choice award, is nominated for British Breakthrough Act.
