Jessie J, Wretch 32, Adele and Tinie Tempah lead the pack with the most nominations at the prestigious 2011 MOBO Awards.
Jessie leads with an unprecedented 5 nominations for Best Newcomer, Best UK Act, Best Album, Best Video and Best Song for her stomping number 1 single “Do It Like a Dude”.
Shocked at her staggering 5 nominations, Jessie says:
"I am so honoured to be nominated. I have watched so many of the artists I look up to being nominated, winning awards and performing - its amazing to be in the company of such amazing talent. I can't wait to be there on the 5th. Thank you to the MOBO Awards and my fans for making this possible."
2011 MTV VMA winner Adele received 4 nominations, as well as Wretch 32 and Tinie Tempah, who both lead this year’s top male nominees.
And global superstars including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Nicki Minaj are all in the running for 2011’s Best International Act.
Jason Derulo – who has just been announced to co-host the awards – is also vying for the coveted title.
The MOBO Awards return to Glasgow on 5th October 2011.
