For each category six bands and artists are chosen, below is a list I have compiled of all the women nominated, this ranges from solo artists to female fronted bands, let's see how female friendly the list really is...
The list starts off a bit flat with only one female artist / female fronted band nominated in each of the categories for Best Band, Best Live Artist and Best Mixtape awards which includes
Wolf Alice Best Band
Lorde Best Live artist
Charli XCX Pop 2 Best Mixtape
 |
| Wolf Alice, Lorde, Charli XCX & Haim |
Things start to get better in the Best International Band, Best British Solo Artist and Best Album categories where females are nominated for two awards in each category which included nominations for
Haim - Best International Band
Paramore - Best International Band
Dua Lipa- Best British Solo Artist
Charli XCX- Best British Solo Artist
Lorde 'Melodrama'-Best Album

We still have a long way to go ladies but looking at these nominations it looks like females are really starting to get the recognition they deserve in the music industry, with perhaps a few more female and female fronted bands getting a bit more recognition in the future. It will be really interesting to see how many women actually win!
All winners will be revealed at the ceremony at London's O2 Academy Brixton on February 14
