Since Adele probably isn't eligible because she already won Best British album, female, single last year for the 25 era, who will win this year then? All the other British females underperformed with their last albums.
The British females in the Official Top 40 Biggest Albums of 2016:
1. 25, ADELE (not eligible, released in 2015, WON last year)
9, I CRY WHEN I LAUGH, JESS GLYNNE (not eligible, released in 2015, NOMINATED last year)
26. LONG LIVE THE ANGELS, EMELI SANDE
38. DELIRIUM, ELLIE GOULDING (not eligible, released in 2015, SNUBBED last year)
So Emeli will win by default?
The international categories and British male are more competitive:
Best International Female: Beyoncé
Best International Male: Drake
Best British Male: David Bowie
Best British Female: ???
