The BRIT Awards is the biggest and most important awards event in the UK music industry. Celebrating the biggest and best stars in music, the show also annually raises controversy and the ceremony is never a dull one, often dividing audiences with its choice of nominees.

Regardless of what naysayers might lead you to believe, the ceremony has help establish the careers of a number of international superstars with the Critic's Choice Award. This year Sam Smith was selected, following in the footsteps of Emeli Sande, Adele and Ellie Goulding. We are fans of Sam Smith and he deserves the award, but what about the other categories? Who else would we like to see get nominated?

The official nominations will be revealed in early 2014 at a huge London event, but until then, check out our wishlist of the bands and artists we would love to see nominated at The BRITs 2014...
