Beyonc has been nominated eight times (and won once), and JAY Z has received four nominations (and one win); 2019 sees their debut nomination for The Carters off the back of their Top Five album Everything is Love, and disco legends Nile Rodgers & Chic are at last nominated for their first BRIT award for International Group.
Jason Iley, BRITs Chairman and Chairman & CEO of Sony Music UK and Ireland said: These nominations illustrate what an incredible year it has been for British talent and remind us what a great time it is to be a music fan, both in the UK and beyond. I'm delighted to see the nominations representing talent across a wide variety of genres - from returning artists to some incredibly exciting new talent, who are set to become the stars of the future. With such a strong list of nominees, we are certain of a fiercely contested and exciting night at the awards show in February.

About The BRIT Awards - British Record Industry Trust
The BRIT (British Record Industry Trust) Awards are organised by the BPI - the record labels' association that promotes British music. The BPI's membership is made up of over 400 independent labels as well as the UK's three major record companies - collectively they account for around 85 per cent of the music consumed in the UK and around one in eight of all the artist albums sold around the world.
The BRIT Awards 2019 with Mastercard will be the 39th BRIT Awards, which has raised more than £21m for The BRIT Trust charity, whose main beneficiaries are the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology www.brit.croydon.sch.uk, Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk and other selected charities which match the mission criteria.
Over 8,000 young people have been given free education and the opportunity to enter the BRIT School since its opening in 1991 and more than 10,000 children and adults have been helped by the extraordinary music therapy work carried out by Nordoff-Robbins.
In 2017, The BRIT Awards underwent a major review of its Voting Academy, in a move designed to refresh the Academy with as diverse a range of music experts as possible to achieve a greater gender balance, as well as increased BAME representation. As part of the review, the BPI appointed a Diversity Advisory Committee to advise on the Voting Academy's voting structures and breakdown, overseen by BPI Ch
