The list doesn't contain many surprises and this years winner is sure to be more well known than last years winner Speech Deblle. So who's made the cut.
2003 winner Dizzee Rascal is back in the nominations this year and a lot has changed since 'Boy in da corner' won seven years ago. The former grime prince is now king of the mainstream dance floor and 'Tongue N Cheek' has taken the pop world by storm.
The xx may be newcomers to the awards but their stunning debut topped many end of year lists and was always going to be nominated. Personally it's my favourite from the list but will it win? I hope so.
Paul Weller and Foals are the surprise nominations for me. The Modfather's 10th solo album is not his best but 'Wake Up The Nation' has earned him his first nomination since 1994. Foals 'Total Life Forever' was tipped by a few people for the list but it's nowhere near as good as their debut 'Antidotes'. They wont win!
One of Laura Marling and Mumford and Sons were always gonna be nominated, turns out they both have as folk music grows in popularity and Mumford and Son's have to be pretty confident as they spend the summer tearing up the festival circuit.
Corinne Bailey Rae, Biffy Clyro and Wild Beasts have an outside chance and despite being at 10/1 a victory for I Am Kloot wouldn't surprise me.
Villagers and this years wildcard Kit Downes will be hoping for another shock result like last year but the winner is surely to be one of the favourites, isn't?
My Prediction
1. The xx - XX
2. Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More
3. Corinne Baily Rae -The Sea
