Ariana Grande, Charli XCX and Dua Lipa Lead NME Awards Nominations
Lorde, Lady Gaga, Stormzy and The 1975 also nab several noms...
Our pop queens are dominating the VO5 NME Awards 2018 as Lorde and Charli XCX lead the nominations with four each.
Joining Lorde and Charli on the coveted list is Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and the beloved Ariana Grande, who is up for one of the ceremony's most special awards.
Ariana is nominated for Hero Of The Year for her actions in the wake of the terror attack that happened after her concert in the Manchester Arena last May.
I gave into the fire
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest
Feel like a failure
'Cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better
'Cause you don't want a liar
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything, but boy, I couldn't give it to ya
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything, but I got nothing here without ya
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
I don't deserve it
I know I don't deserve it
But stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it
Can't you forgive me?
At least just temporarily
I know that this is my fault
I should've been more careful
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything, but boy, I couldn't give it to ya
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything, but I got nothing here without you, baby
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest, yeah
Just stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it, babe
'Cause I don't wanna be without ya
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home (babe)
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart (babe)
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
Less than two weeks after the terror attack, Grande hosted the benefit concert One Love Manchester that raised more than £17 million and let fans from the original concert go for free.
One Love Manchester is also nominated for Music Moment Of The Year, up against Lady Gaga's Super Bowl halftime show and Linkin Park's Chester Bennington tribute concert.
Lady Gaga has two nominations as her documentary Five Foot Two is shortlisted for Best Music Film alongside George Michael: Freedom and Whitney: Can I Be Me.
Lorde and Charli XCX dominate the shortlists with four nominations each, meaning they'll have to battle it out for Best New Track between 'Green Light' and 'Boys'.
'Boys' is also a contender for Best Video, while Charli is up for Best British Solo Artist and her latest mixtape - released last month - POP 2 is in the Best Mixtape category.
Meanwhile, Lorde is also up for Best Album for Melodrama, Best Live Artist and Best International Solo Artist, where she is joined by Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift.
Dua Lipa unsurprisingly makes an appearance with three nominations and will compete her gal Charli in all categories of Best British Solo Artist, Best Track and Best Video.
'New Rules' and 'Boys' are joined in the Best Video category by Taylor Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do' and our very own Brand New For 2018 nominees Pale Waves' 'Television Romance'.
Elsewhere, Stormzy is nominated for two awards - Best British Solo Artist and Best Live Artist - and The 1975 have two also with Best British Band and Best Festival Headliner.
Voting is now open on the NME website so go work your magic!
The winners will be revealed at the ceremony at London's O2 Academy Brixton on February 14th.

Telling me how much you miss me
That's funny, I guess you've heard my songs
Well, I'm too busy for your business
Go find a girl who wants to listen
'Cause if you think I was born yesterday
You have got me wrong
So I cut you off
I don't need your love
'Cause I already cried enough
I've been done
I've been moving on, since we said goodbye
I cut you off
I don't need your love, so you can try all you want
Your time is up, I'll tell you why
You say you're sorry
But it's too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a fuck
I remember that weekend
When my best friend caught you creeping
You blamed it all on the alcohol
So I made my decision
'Cause you made your bed, sleep in it
Play the victim and switch your position
I'm through, I'm done
So I cut you off
I don't need your love
'Cause I already cried enough
I've been done
I've been moving on, since we said goodbye
I cut you off
I don't need your love, so you can try all you want
Your time is up, I'll tell you why
You say you're sorry
But it's too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a fuck
I see you tryna get to me
I see you begging on your knees
Boy, I don't give a fuck
So stop tryna get to me
Tchh, get up off your knees
'Cause, boy, I don't give a fuck
About you
No, I don't give a damn
You keep reminiscing on when you were my man
But I'm over you
Now you're all in the past
You talk all that sweet talk, but I ain't coming back
Cut you off
I don't need your love
So you can try all you want
Your time is up, I'll tell you why
(I'll tell you why)
You say you're sorry
But it's too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
(Too late now)
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a fuck
(Boy, I don't give a fuck)
I see you tryna get to me
I see you begging on your knees
Boy, I don't give a fuck
So stop tryna get to me (get to me)
Tch, get up off your knees
'Cause, boy, I don't give a fuck
