Most likely. Since 2000 either the 1st/2nd most commercially successful act has won with the exception of 2008 (Paul Weller – with no commercial/mainstreams acts nominated); 2013 (Ben Howard over Calvin Harris & Olly Murs) and David Bowie’s two wins in 2014 & 2017.

I guess either J Hus or Kano since they have the most acclaimed work from the potentials. Or the decide that Lewis Capaldi is eligible because of his live EP this year and (god-forbid) he wins.

1D did win British Song in 2012 for “What Makes You Beautiful” so I imagine Harry takes the award again this year as a consolation prize.

Unless Adele does a surprise release I think Female Artist + Album is pretty much Dua’s to take, it’s the biggest album in the UK this year released by a British artist (without much competition from other female artists) and she and Harry will dominate the year. Unless I’m mistaken, they’ve been lenient with the rules before in terms of the Male Artist category, Sam Smith was nominated in 2019 despite their album coming out in 2017 and only being featured on a track with Calvin Harris. Considering the fact so many artists have postponed their projects (and a shortage of British acts too) I could see them nominating Harry in order to get ratings from his fans.

Dua Lipa is going to win most of the awards she is eligible for.

Taylor Swift could win Best International Female. Her last BRIT awards win was in 2015, so not too soon to award her again. The thing that could work against her might be if she sweeps all the other major awards shows and the BRITs decide to go for an acclaimed, but not big selling artist like Fiona Apple or Phoebe Bridgers instead.

For International Male, the most logical choice right now would be The Weeknd. He has been nominated once before.
