The Rina stuff is making huge headlines and there’s plenty of time for them to change the rules. I have a feeling they’ll change it and nominate her for british breakthrough artist

It’s odd because the Song/Single of the Year is compiled from the 10 biggest songs in the UK (chart-wise) from 1 artist each (unless it’s a feature like double Dua – One Kiss & IDGAF – in 2019).

And since streaming was introduced in 2014, only 7% of the overall nominees were released post-July (2015 – Uptown Funk & Thinking Out Loud; 2016 – Hello; 2017 – Shout Out to My Ex & Say You Won’t Let Go).

Using the OfficialCharts Top 40 Year End so far, taking away the 2018 holdovers & the multiples from Dua, Lewis & Harry. The nomination slate would look like

• Dua Lipa – Don’t Start Now
• Lewis Capaldi – Before You Now
• Stormzy (feat. Ed Sheeran & Burna Boy) – Own It
• Joel Corry – Lonely
• Harry Styles – Adore You
• Becky Hill (feat. Shift K3Y) – Better Off Without You
• Aitch & AJ Tracey (feat. Tay Keith) – Rain
• S1mba (feat. DTG) – Rover
• Endor – Pump It Up

Lonely & Adore You look like they will be replaced by Head & Heart and Watermelon Sugar giving as they’re shaping up to be bigger hits.

The only current top 40 hit on the charts right that I can see being a big at the end of the year is West Ten from AJ Tracey & Mabel.

can see dua winning 3 awards tbh (best album, best single, best female). best single could also likely go to harry styles though

I think they’ll give best Single to Harry since he isn’t eligible for Album or Male, and they’ll want to reward him for the big year he had. Dua will win Female and Album without any doubt.
