The awards ceremony will take place in London next month.

Elbow and The Last Shadow Puppets will go head-to-head with Hemming in the category of Best Song.

Elbow are also nominated for Best Contemorary Song alongside The Ting Tings and Calvin Harris and Dizzee Rascal.

Coldplay and Duffy have been nominated for the same three awards: Best Album, Most Performed and Best-Selling British Song.

The Best-Selling category also features M.I.A., who has received a nomination for the song ‘Paper Planes’.

The Ting Tings are also nominated for Best Album for ‘We Started Nothing’.

A host of other awards, including Best Film Soundtrack, will be handed out on the night of the ceremony on May 21.
