The biggest stars of music and entertainment will be crowned the winners of the Global Awards 2022, on 31st March.

The shortlist for The Global Awards 2023, celebrating the biggest stars of music and entertainment, have been announced.

Superstar Harry Styles leads the nominations after an incredible year, receiving five across four categories, closely followed by one of the biggest British breakthrough stars in recent years.

George Ezra is nominated in three categories, and other shortlisted artists include P!nk, Lizzo, Anne-Marie, Becky Hill and Tom Grennan.

Shortlisted podcasts include ‘That Peter Crouch Podcast’, ‘The Wittering Whitehalls’ with Michael and Hilary Whitehall, who attempt to solve everyday problems, and ‘The News Agents’ hosted by Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall.

I love it when all of Global’s radio brands come together for The Global Awards, to celebrate the world’s most talented artists and broadcasters, when we take a moment to recognise music’s rising stars and when we honour the achievements of our listeners’ favourite artists, bands, DJs and podcasters.

- Ashley Tabor-King OBE, Global’s Founder & Executive President
