The nominations for 2018 BRIT Awards have been revealed and Dua Lipa leads with five nominations, while Ed Sheeran is nominated for four awards.

According to Billboard, the 22-year-old leads the charge at this year's Brit Awards with five nominations, including best album.

The singer is also up for British best female solo artist, British album of the year, British single and British artist video of the year. She narrowly beat Sheeran, who is nominated for four awards, including British album of the year.

Meanwhile, former One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne will go head to head in the category of British Artist Video of the Year.

Styles' eccentric piano ballad 'Sign Of The Times' and Malik's Taylor Swift collaboration 'Don't wanna live forever' will battle it out with Payne's slick dance track 'Strip that down' featuring Quavo at the star-studded ceremony.

Besides being the leading nominees, both Sheeran and Lipa are set to perform at this year's Brits, joining a lineup that also includes Sam Smith, Stormzy and Foo Fighters.
