Last night, the Brit Award nominations were announced in London, with chart favourites Jessie J and Adele up for three gongs each.
Just last year, Jessie - who showed up at the nominations bash in an outfit consisting of big knickers, a bra, and a sparkly net curtain - won the Critics' Choice award, and now she's one of the top nominees.
Good job they're not taking fashion sense into account.
The man with the most nominations, though, is Ed Sheeran - he has four, including British Male, and Breakthrough Act.
Would anyone else actually recognise him if they walked past him on the street?
Meanwhile, host James Corden was fawning over the thought of Blur sharing the stage with him:
"Damon is a shining light in British culture so I always get slightly starstruck. It will be an honour to be in the same room as him.
"Blur winning their Outstanding Contribution award will be special. There hasn't been a more important band."
Oh god, hope there's not more gushing like that to come on the night...
