BRIT Awards 2025: Charli XCX Leads Nominations as Stars Gather at London
The 45th BRIT Awards are set to take place today, March 1, 2025, at London’s O2 Arena, with comedian Jack Whitehall returning as host for the fifth time.
The ceremony will be broadcast live at 8:15 PM GMT on ITV1 and ITVX for UK viewers, and international audiences can stream it on the BRITs’ official YouTube channel.
Leading the nominations this year is Charli XCX, who has gathered five nods, including British Album of the Year for her latest release, BRAT, and British Artist of the Year. Close behind are Dua Lipa, The Last Dinner Party, and Ezra Collective, each securing four nominations.
A notable highlight of this year’s nominations is The Beatles receiving their first nod since 1983, recognized in the Song of the Year category for their track “Now and Then.”
Additionally, The Cure has made a comeback with three nominations, including British Album of the Year for Songs of a Lost World, their first album in 16 years.
Artists set to take the stage include JADE, Myles Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, Teddy Swims, The Last Dinner Party, Sam Fender, and Lola Young.
Notably, Shaboozey, initially slated to perform, had to withdraw due to unforeseen circumstances and was promptly replaced by Ezra Collective and Jorja Smith.
Nigerian actress Juliana Olayode expresses her worry regarding the increase in sex rates among teenagers.
The actress took to social media and expressed her shock at the things she has heard from teenagers, claiming that it is a serious issue.
“What is your body count? The things I hear these days, especially from teenagers, leave me speechless and break my heart. While some people would say, ‘Enjoy your life while you’re young, make all the mistakes you want now,’ I don’t — that includes sexually.”
“Sex is spiritual. People only talk about the fun part; nobody really talks about the spiritual aspect of it. Sex and other sexual activities are for MARRIED people. I can write an epistle about this.”

Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae goes viral after sharing her thoughts on the current state of Afrobeats, stating that the genre has stalled.
She expressed concern about how Afrobeats is becoming too repetitive and urged artists to experiment with new sounds.
“Afrobeats and African music need to evolve. It needs to evolve in a direction that is fearless, and I think right now artists have made so much money from a certain type of sound that they are afraid to step out of the boundaries because they are probably more focused on the financial aspect of it. And as a result, I think Afrobeats has stalled.”
The singer then gave an example, commenting on how Rema did just that with his recent album “HEIS”.
