most performed work for her hit, Man I Need.

She's up against strong competition, including Lily Allen's comeback album, West End Girl

in Best Album.

Meanwhile, Lola Young's messy and tracks like Miles Smith's Stargazing and Cole plays

Viva LaVita from 2008 are in the most performed category, which honors songs with the biggest

airplay and streams over time.

Olivia's momentum comes right after sweeping four Brit Awards earlier this year, taking

Best Artist, Best Album, Best Song, and Best Pop Act.

She went home a winner, and every category she entered, even sharing a song of the year

nod that triumpt.

at the ceremony, though this is her first Best Album nod.

timers.

The rising star award shortlist highlights fresh talents like Chloe Keisha and Jacob
