Coldplay lead the shortlist for this year's Ivor Novello songwriting awards, after being nominated in three categories. The band's hit single 'Fix You' has been nominated for Best Song Musically and Lyrically, while 'Speed of Sound' is nominated for International Hit of the Year and Most Performed Work. James Blunt received two nominations for You're Beautiful, which will contest the International Hit category and the Most Performed Work category. Also shortlisted, with 'Speed of Sound' and 'You're Beautiful', for International Hit of the Year is Robbie Williams' hit 'Tripping'. Natalie Imbruglia's 'Shiver' has also been shortlisted in the Most Performed Work category, with 'Speed of Sound' and 'You're Beautiful'. The Arctic Monkeys' hit single 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor' and KT Tunstall's 'Suddenly I See' will also contest the category of Best Song Musically and Lyrically. Nominated for Best Contemporary Song are 'Dare' by the Gorillaz, 'I Predict A Riot' by the Kaiser Chiefs and 'Wires' by Athlete. David Ferguson, head of the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, said: "At a time when music is getting disseminated across more and more platforms, at a time when more music is getting stolen than ever before, at a time when music is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in modern life, then it is critical to honour and reward the people who write and initiate the music we all enjoy." The winners of the awards will be announced in London on 25 May.
