This year’s nominations were unveiled in January and saw Tooting native Raye, 26, rack up a record-breaking total of 7 nominations.
In another first, a whopping 98 artists are up for the prestigious prizes in 2024.
Leading the pack, Raye, is up for Album Of The Year for her long-awaited debut album My 21st Century Blues, while its third single, Escapism, is nominated for Song Of The Year.
Raye is also included in the five strong Best New Artist category and will also compete as a nominee in the categories for R&B Act and Pop Act.
She has beaten reigning champions Craig David, Robbie Williams and the Gorillaz who all had been nominated for six awards in previous years.
The British Phonograph Industry – who organize the annual event – admit gender balance has been readdressed following last year’s controversial decision.
Speaking on Wednesday, BPI Chair Yolanda Brown, said: ‘We shared our upset that no women or R&B artists were represented last year.
‘We consulted with our advisory group, we thought long and hard about moving forward’.
In 2022, Raye earned her first solo BRIT Awards nomination: best dance act but just two years later she broke records for her staggering SEVEN nominations
Big hitters Kylie Minogue, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and Miley Cyrus have been nominated for International Artist of the Year.
While Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For, Doja Cat’s Paint The Town Red and Olivia Rodrigo’s Vampire are all up for International Song of the Year.
Dua Lipa’s limited output over the last year hasn’t stopped her featuring in two additional categories at the forthcoming event.
Her latest single, Houdini – one of only two original tracks to be released by the artist since 2020 album Future Nostalgia – features among the nominees for Song of the Year, as well as a nomination for best Pop Act.
