The hotly-anticipated 12 Albums of the Year shortlist was announced live by Tom Ravenscroft on BBC Radio 6 Music on Thursday morning (25th July).

Boys singer Charli XCX, who was nominated for the prize in 2020, has made the list with her sixth studio album, Brat, which has become a pop culture phenomenon and sparked a new viral style trend since its release last month.
Cat Burns was also nominated for album Early Twenties, while The Last Dinner Party were picked for Prelude to Ecstasy.
