Would she be eligible given that she won that category last year and hasn't released anything new since? I see she's eligible for video - but that's presumably because the video came out during this year's eligibility period. I doubt releasing that one video, but no new songs or albums, would be enough to get in.

I thought that too about Adele but that doesn't explain how Ellie got nominated when Delirium came out in 2015 as well.

But Ellie did release new material - the Bridget Jones soundtrack - and didn't win anything last year. It may be like the Grammys where if you win AOTY you can't win again with that material. Hard to say, though - they don't seem to publish their rules anywhere.

Drake and Future are considered a group? Fifth Harmony should have been nominated for International Group.

I mean, I would've figured that headlining one of the world's biggest tours of 2016 could be enough to get into the category.

There's a rule that you can only submit once per album campaign, or technicalities that amount to that. Ellie Goulding wasn't nominated last year even though she had her biggest hit during the tracking period. She wouldn't have won, but going by success during the period, she certainly would have warranted placement over Amy Winehouse and Laura Marling). They just knew she'd lose to Adele, and opted to put her in this year. Similarly, Ellie wasn't nominated in 2013 after she released an album (when she'd likely lose it to Emeli Sande), but won in 2014.

Drake & Future for group is bit of ridiculous as they are solo artists
Also Alan Walker for best BRITISH single? He was born in the UK but has switched to Norwegian nationality since

The 1975 Emeli Sandé Little Mix Robbie Williams Bruno Mars Skepta Ed Sheeran Katy Perry
Not many performers and still they have room for Emeli Sandé. Looking forward to Skepta's performance

He was born in the UK but has switched to Norwegian nationality since But when solo artists come together they become a duo/group depending on the number. It was a joint album with each contributing equal parts to an album that was promoted as a collaborative effort.

Tbf the female category was pretty underwhelming this year. I feel like Emeli kinda won that by default.

Something about Zane Lowe presenting an award to David Bowie makes me want to throw up.
