BRIT Awards 2013: The Nominations in full

Emeli Sande leads the charge with four nominations for the BRIT Awards 2013 with MasterCard. OfficialCharts.com were on the red carpet to capture all the action as it happened.

Emeli Sande has received four nominations for the BRIT Awards 2013 with MasterCard.

At a star studded launch party at London’s Savoy Hotel this evening (Thursday, January 10), it was revealed that the Scottish singer / songwriter is up for the British Female Solo Artist and MasterCard British Album of The Year prizes, as well as receiving two nominations for Best British Single (for Next To Me and Labrinth’s Beneath Your Beautiful, which she features on).

The news comes a year after Emeli won the prestigious Critics’ Choice Award at the BRIT Awards 2012, which catapulted her to international fame. In addition to appearing at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic Games, her debut album, Our Version Of Events, went on to become the biggest selling album of 2012, and set a new Official Albums Chart record for the most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 for a solo artist’s debut release.

“It feels pretty mental!" Emeli told OfficialCharts.com. “Those types of statistics take a while to sink in. For people to have really connected with this album the way they have wasn’t something I expected. I hoped for it, but I never imagined I’d have this much success with it. It’s wonderful.”
