Radio 1 chart show DJ Fearne Cotton will announce the nominations for this year's Brit Awards.

The launch party for the annual music awards will take place at the Roundhouse in Camden, north London, on 20 January.

It will feature live performances from Gabriella Cilmi, Scouting For Girls and 2009 Brit Critics' Choice award winner Florence and the Machine.

Last year's Critics' Choice was won by the BBC's Sound of 2008 winner Adele.

Ged Doherty, chairman of the Brits committee, said: "It's a great platform for Florence and the Machine to show why she has won the Critics' Choice award this year."

The nominations will be shown on ITV2 on 20 January from 2000 GMT.

The Brit Awards, meanwhile, will take place on 18 February at London's Earls Court.

According to the Daily Record, R1 star Fearne Cotton has been giving Ms Kylie Minogue tips on how to handle her Brit Awards co-hosts, Matt Horne & James Corden. She has advised Kylie not to try and control them at the ceremony. Fearne has said, "Let them be loose cannons and do what they do, and it'll be a lovely night".

Oh no! I'm torn in the British Group category....Girls Aloud or Take That? Hmmm think it will need to be TT!

Haha, Take That, purely for Barlow! I do hope Last Shadow Puppets get best breakthrough artist.

I know. It's like they've actually got some substance somehow. I love Adele's Hometown Glory soooo much. I borrowed the CD from the library, and had to listen to that one over & over.

That Ting Tings song, "That's Not My Name" drives me mad. "That's not my name, that's not my name......" Aaaahh!! What is your name then?

Thread merged.

I've seen four out of the five bands courtesy of Radio 1's Big Weekend. I have to say, though, that I've seen Scouting For Girls twice and The Ting Tings three times. It all comes down to what sort of music you're into. You've got the soothing sounds of Adele and Duffy, the teen pop sounds of Scouting For Girls and the indie sounds of The Ting Tings.

Based on the albums alone I'd go with The Ting Tings having more hits even though Scouting For Girls have released more as singles. Also the fact that we got two Yo Gabba Gabba mixes out of The Ting Tings pushes forward my choice further.

    • Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky between the 28th-30th May.
    • I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?
    • Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.
    • Zoe Ball is back on the breakfast show on Monday.
    • Just listening to matt and mollie at work and heard them say it's their second to last show on weekends
    • And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury 
    • When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.
    • Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
    • I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury
    • I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.
    • Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then? 
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.
    • I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
