David Bowie has picked up six nominations at this year's Q Awards, after his hugely successful 2013 comeback with new album, The Next Day.
Bowie has picked up nominations for Best Track, Best Video, Best Album, Best Solo Artists, Best Act In The World Today and Best Event - for the exhibition held at London's Victoria & Albert museum.
Returning dance star Daft Punk, Glastonbury headliners Arctic Monkeys and rising festival favourites Foals each pick up three nominations.
Speaking of the nomination, Q magazine editor Matt Mason pays tribute to Bowie and the brilliant music landscape of 2013.
"It's been another unforgettable year for music, and the nominations reflect the breadth and brilliance of artists from the UK and beyond," says Mason in an official statement. "The return of David Bowie proved that, even in the digital age, popstars retain the ability to completely amaze and surprise us, while the phenomenal success of Daft Punk showed that you can still reach right across the globe with one great song.
"With Glastonbury back on the calendar, we've also enjoyed a summer of outstanding live performances. All the Q Awards nominees have helped ensure that 2013 has been an incredible year for music."
