Adele and Coldplay will compete against each other at Britain's prestigious Ivor Novello awards.
The Rolling in the Deep singer has achieved a nomination for the PRS for Music Most Performed Work prize for her track When We Were Young, and she will compete against the band, who have been nominated in that category twice for Adventure of a Lifetime and Hymn for the Weekend, which features uncredited vocals by Beyonce.
Singers Laura Mvula and Michael Kiwanuka have landed on the shortlist twice. Laura, who was recently dropped from her label, is nominated for the Best Song Musically and Lyrically prize for Overcome, which was co-written by Chic's Nile Rodgers, who features on the track, and her competitors are Kiwanuka's Black Man in a White World and Telomere by Mystery Jets.
Laura and Michael will go head-to-head once again for the Album Award for their records The Dreaming Room and Love & Hate respectively. The category is rounded out by Skeleton Tree by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Nominees for Best Contemporary Song include Love$ick by Mura Masa featuring A$AP Rocky, Man by Skepta, and Sexual by Swedish producer NEIKED featuring British singer Dyo.
