A lot of blogs are giving you long lists of artists they are expecting big things from in 2012.
One of the most famous of these is
BBC's Sound of 2012, where rules dictate that an artist can't have had a top 10 single/album.
Well, there is no precise formula behind our predictions, so we're just bringing you five artists we think you'll be hearing a lot more of in the coming year. There were a TON to choose from. Here are some runners up (in no particular order): Alex Clare, Made in Heights, Sonnymoon, Main Attrakionz, Quelle, Danny Brown, Oliver Tank, Hoop Dreams, Balkans, Pterodactyl, and Alex Winston.
