JAKARTA - The most prestigious music award event in England, the 2026 Brit Awards, has officially announced its nomination list.

This year, the main stage is predicted to belong to two rising names, Olivia Dean and Lola Young, who lead with five nominations each.

Olivia Dean successfully stole the spotlight with the album "The Art of Loving" which topped the UK charts and broke into the top three in the US. On the other hand, Lola Young performed strongly thanks to the album "I'm Only F**king Myself" which combines alternative and pop elements.

In addition to the dominance of new faces, the 2026 Brit Awards will also be a comeback moment for Lily Allen, who received three nominations, as well as Pulp, who returned to the nominations for the first time since 1996.
