Elsewhere in the nominations, Adele and Beyoncé are set to go head to head with their brilliant tracks 'Hello' and 'Formation'.
Beyoncé leads the nominations with 11 nods whilst Adele comes close with eight nominations including one for her song 'Send My Love To Your New Lover', which is nominated in the Best Visual Effects category.

Pop princess Ariana Grande ('Into You'), Sia ('Cheap Thrills') and Rihanna and Drake ('Work') will battle with Adele and Beyoncé to win the coveted Best Female Video award.
