Pop acts Bastille and Disclosure led the nominations for Britain's top music awards on Thursday, up for four prizes each at the annual BRIT Awards, and veteran singer David Bowie was put forward for two awards. The alternative rock band Bastille and electronic music duo Disclosure were both nominated as best British group and British breakthrough act of the year, while also competing for best single and best album. Disclosure was put forward for its single with another electronic music duo, AlunaGeorge, called "White Noise" and its album "Settle". "We're completely blown away by the four nominations! When we started the band we never thought we'd be recognized in such a way so the whole thing is an awesome surprise," Dan Smith from Bastille, which formed in 2010, said in a statement.
