BRIT AWARDS – THE NOMINEES IN FULL

Travis tipped to sweep the board in the awards that also has Adam Rickitt as one of the year's best newcomers...

Travis have been nominated for three Brit Awards, including ‘Best British Group’, ‘Best Album’ and ‘Best British Single’ for ‘Why Does It Always Rain On Me’ – with industry insiders tipping the band to sweep the boards come the awards ceremony on March 3.

Basement Jaxx and Chemical Brothers have also been nominated for a handful of awards, competing for the titles of ‘Best British Dance Act’, ‘Best Album’ and ‘Best British Single’ for ‘Red Alert’ and ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’. The Chems have received a fourth nomination for ‘Best British Video’ for their Noel Gallagher collaboration ‘Let Forever Be’. Competition in that category comes from NME writers’s single of the year winner Aphex Twin for his controversial ‘Windowlicker’ video. Supergrass, Fatboy Slim and Robbie Williams are also up for the prize.

Blur have received nominations for best group and best single for ‘Tender’ while Stereophonics are in the line-up for best album and best group. Ian Brown’s up for a ‘Best British Male Solo Artist’ award, and he’ll be duking it out for the title with a parade of pensioners including Tom Jones, Van Morrison, Sting and David Bowie. Meanwhile, Beth Orton faces competition from Geri Halliwell and Sporty Spice Melanie C in the female category.
