British rapper Slowthai and The 1975 are among the nominees for the 2020 NME Awards.
The U.K. hip-hop star received eight nods from editors and readers of the British music magazine, including Best British Solo Act, Best Solo Act in the World, Best Live Act, as well as Best British Album, and Best Album in the World for his debut LP, Nothing Great About Britain.
Slowthai's remaining nominations are for his collaboration with Mura Masa, Deal Wiv It, which is up for Best Collaboration, Best British Song, and Best Song in the World.
The 1975 bagged five nods, including Best British Band and Best Band in the World, and Best British Song and Best Song in the World nominations for their track People.
Other British stars up for prizes include FKA Twigs, Foals, Little Simz, Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, and Yungblud.
Notable international acts up for prizes in the global categories are Billie Eilish, who has three nominations, Lizzo, Lana Del Rey, and Taylor Swift.
Glastonbury festival organiser Emily Eavis will receive the magazine's Godlike Genius Award, following her father, who bagged the honour back in 1996.
"I remember being at the NME Awards when I was 16 and being so proud to see my dad named Godlike Genius," she said in a statement. "It's a huge honour to be given the same award all these years later."
