Lewis Capaldi and Dave lead the nominations for the 2020 Brit Awards, which take place at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday 18 February.

The Scottish singer and London-born rapper both have four nominations, while Stormzy and Mabel are hot on their heels, with three apiece.

This year's ceremony has been streamlined, with categories like best international group and the lifetime achievement award ditched to make more room for performances.

But the awards have been criticised for a lack of diversity, with only four women nominated across the four categories open to both male and female artists - best group, best new artist, best song and album of the year.

Two of those nominations go to the same person, pop singer Mabel, while the remaining two, for Miley Cyrus and Normani, are guest vocalists on songs by Mark Ronson and Sam Smith.

Here is the full list of nominees.

  • Stormzy - Heavy Is The Head
