LONDON (Reuters) - English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran led the field
with four BRIT nominations on Thursday, one ahead of global chart queen
Adele who is down to perform at the awards after months out for throat
surgery.
The annual honors, Britain's top pop awards, will be handed out at
London's O2 Arena on February 21, and Adele's live UK comeback is likely
to be among the highlights.
The 23-year-old had the world's top-selling album last year with
"21", which sold 5.8 million copies in the United States alone, and
picked up six Grammy nominations in a triumphant year.
Adding to her list of accolades on Thursday, the "Rolling in the
Deep" singer earned three BRIT nods and was bested only by the less
familiar face of Sheeran.
The 20-year-old, whose debut album "+" topped the UK charts and has
sold nearly a million copies in Britain so far, scooped four
nominations, including for the coveted British Album of the Year prize
sponsored by Mastercard.
He is also in the running for British male solo artist, British breakthrough act and British single for "The A Team".
