BMG artists and songwriters have scored nominations in multiple categories for the 2024 Brit Awards, some of Britain’s most prestigious music awards. Australian-British BMG pop star Kylie Minogue received her first nomination in 13 years, and is in the running for “International Artist of the Year” following the huge success of her number one album “Tension” in 2023. Irish singer-songwriter CMAT, whose music publishing rights are managed by BMG, is competing in the same category. This year’s Brit Awards will be presented on March 2 at London’s O2 Arena and will be broadcast live on ITV1.
BMG’s songwriters made a strong showing in the „Alternative Rock Act” category as well. Three of the five nominations in this category went to the bands Blur with BMG songwriter Dave Rowntree, Bring Me The Horizon, and The Rolling Stones, who released “Hackney Diamonds,” their first new studio album since 2005, in 2023. The album charted in the top 10 in 32 countries, reaching #1 in 20 of them.
