Adele is poised for another great year at the Brit Awards, securing a total of four nominations following the success of her multi-million selling album 25. She has the joint highest number of nominations for the 2016 awards, alongside James Bay and Years & Years.

The 27 year old’s third album has sold millions of copies around the world already, despite being released less than two months ago, including 2.5 million in the UK. 25 is nominated for Best British Album, while Adele herself is up for Best British Female, Single and Video (both for ‘Hello’).

She’s also due to perform during the evening. Synth-pop trio Years & Years, who topped the charts with their debut album Communion in 2015, are tied with fellow breakout artist James Bay with four awards each. Years & Years have seen their hit song ‘King’ nominated for Best Single and Video.

Bay, meanwhile, won the Critics’ Choice Award in 2015, which is given to the artist considered most likely to break through by industry insiders, and his album Chaos And The Calm is up for Best Album.
