The Welsh singer and the alternative band scored four nominations each, duking it out in the "Best British Single" and "Best Album" categories. Duffy is nominated for "Best Solo Female Artist" and "Breakthrough Act" and Coldplay are nominated for "Best Group" and "Best Live Act".
Reality competition The X Factor also did very well. Both Alexandra's winner single "Hallelujah' and the charity single "Hero" were nominated in the "British Single" longlist, although it is unlikely either will make it to the final round. The winner from two years ago, three-time Grammy nominee Leona Lewis is also nominated in British Single for Top 2 hit "Better In Time".
Speaking of Grammy nominees, Adele is competing with Duffy in all but one category, "Best Album".
In the International categories, Kings of Leon scored two nods, one for Best Group and another for Best Album. Also nominated are Beyonce, Katy Perry, AC/DC, and Kanye West.
Receiving the Outstanding Contribution to Music award are The Pet Shop Boys, who are releasing their latest album this sping and recently collaboration with nominees Girls Aloud on their 20th top 10 single "The Loving Kind".
The ceremony will be held at Earl's Court on February 18th, airing live on ITV1.
