Who Should Win At The 2011 BRITS...

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Virgin Records) The 2011 nominations for the BRITs have been announced and now you get to argue over who you think should win, who has been cruelly overlooked and why the buffalo is so-and-so on the list?

We've come up with the remarkable system of listing all of the nominees below and putting the ones we want to win in bold (clever, clever) while also helpfully pointing out the artists who have graced our very own Red Room music show so far. Maybe watching these video clips will help you decide if they're worthy winners...
