Nominations boost singer’s success

Rolling In The Deep was nominated for best song musically and lyrically, while her album 21 is in the running for best album.

She also dominated the category for the most performed track of 2011 with two out of three songs – Rolling In The Deep and Someone Like You – in the shortlist. The third track is Take That’s The Flood – the first song to feature Robbie Williams since his return to the band.

The annual awards – in their 57th year – are highly prized because they are voted for by songwriters and composers.

Adele faces competition from Florence + The Machine and Ed Sheeran in the battle for best song musically and lyrically, who are nominated for Shake It Out and The A Team respectively.

The award for best contemporary song is a contest between Nero for Promises, James Blake for The Wilhelm Scream and Lana Del Ray’s debut Video Games, which she co-wrote with Justin Parker from Lincoln.
