The 2023 BRIT Awards nominations list is here — and it's jam-packed with some of your favorite musicians across the world.

On Thursday, the award show released the nominations list for the annual ceremony, which is set to take place on Feb. 11 at the O2 Arena in London.

This yea's list is led by Harry Styles and rising duo Wet Leg, with four nominations each. Styles, 28, is up for artist of the year, album of the year, song of the year and pop/R&B act. Meanwhile, Wet Leg, which consists of members Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, is up for group of the year, best new artist, alternative/rock act and album of the year.

"Somebody hold our horses while we get to grips with this wild news, being nominated for a BRIT award is too hard to comprehend, we never could have expected for our wee band to achieve this," the group said in a press release.

Up for international artist this year are global superstars Beyoncé, Burna Boy, Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo and Taylor Swift.

First-time nominees at this year's ceremony include Blackpink, Eliza Rose, Gabriels, Gayle, Jack Harlow, Kojey Radical, Mimi Webb, Nova Twins and Sam Ryder.

"Being nominated for a BRIT Award is something I've been dreaming about since I was 8 years old and I am so, so grateful. I can't wait to attend and see my name alongside all the other incredible nominees – it will be a real 'pinch me' moment," said Webb in a press release. "I remember seeing Dua Lipa win best new artist in 2018 and being in awe of her – that moment really inspired me to work hard and be the artist I am today. I am so grateful for all the love and support of those who have helped me get here – it feels so much better than I ever imagined."

Ryder added, "I'm buzzing! I feel like a Golden Retriever that's won a medal. Whatever happens, to simply be recognised alongside so many amazing artists and peers is incredible. For me this is truly a reflection of what it's all about - the music."

In December, the BRITs announced FLO as this year's rising star supported by BBC Radio 1, marking the first time a group wins the award. Stars like Adele, Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding and more have previously won the award.

So far, confirmed performances at the show will be Smith and Kim Petras, along with Wet Leg.

The nominations for British producer of the year and songwriter of the year will be announced later.

This year's show will also see the return of the four public-voted genre awards which were introduced last year including: alternative/rock act, dance act, hip-hop/grime/rap act and pop/R&B act.
