The BRIT Awards 2012 nominations have just been announced and it’s safe to say Ed Sheeran is a happy man.
The A Team singer is up for four awards, including Best British Single, British Breakthrough Act, Mastercard British Album of the Year and Best British Male.
The 20 year old told the BBC that he was “ecstatic” with the news.
Jessie J and Adele will battle it out to be leading lady on the night, as they are each up for three gongs.
Jessie J, who won the Critics Choice Award last year, said: "I would never have imagined this last year. I remember sitting at the table and thinking, next year I want to be voted 'Best Female'.
It’s a big year for Scottish star Emeli Sandé who has already scooped this year’s Critics Choice Award and has just learned she is up for Best Breakthrough Act.
The BRIT Awards 2012 will take place on Tuesday 21st February at The O2 Arena.
