"Here's to more women winning awards, and more women taking over the world."

One year later, the music industry seems to have taken note, with female artists dominating the shortlist for 2019's ceremony.

Dua is up for four awards, including best single for One Kiss; tying with pop star Anne-Marie as the year's most-nominated artist.

And for only the second time in Brit Awards history, more women than men are up for the night's biggest prize, album of the year.
