Duffy, Coldplay lead Brit Awards nominations

Greatest Welsh music discovery since Tom Jones, Duffy has once again proved she’s worth all the flattering titles she’s given.

Now Duffy stands all chances to add four more awards to her collection. Yesterday it was revealed the soul diva leads The Brit Awards 2009 with four nominations – Best Female Solo Artist, Best Breakthrough Act, Best Single and Best Album. Congrats, girl!

She’s dubbed as Britain’s most popular female star overshadowing Lilly Allen and Amy Winehouse. Her debut album Rockferry was relased in March 2008 and has sold about 2 million copies in the UK and some 6 million copies worldwide. And her hit ‘Mercy’ was on top of British charts for five weeks.

No wonder she’s nominated in four major categories.

My favorite band, Coldplay, will also rock the awards as they have the same number of nominations – as the Best British Group, Best Single, British Live Act and Best Album.

I keep my fingers crossed the guys will win in all the categories (sorry, Duffy).

The Brit Awards 2009 ceremony will be held in London on February 18th.
