December 3, 201212 yr Author no bastille?! Not on the Blog Sound list anyway, but they've still got a great chance of making it onto the BBC Sound imo Pretty good list there, i'm hoping The Neighbourhood and Chvrches can manage a real breakthrough next year!
December 5, 201212 yr Palma Violets will be massive. Theres an interview with radio 1s controller in MW last week and he said guitar acts will be big in 2013 - at last!
December 5, 201212 yr Guitar acts in 2013? I hope this doesn't mean dance is waning. I'm a 90s girl, Rave and Grunge cohabited fine!

December 6, 201212 yr Surprised at the BRITs snubbing Gabrielle Aplin - that's a pretty decent list, AluneGeorge to win please.
December 6, 201212 yr This article may interest you... Brits Critics' Choice tips Laura Mvula, Tom Odell and AlunaGeorge for sucess next year http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20607500 All 3 acts have charted on my personal chart recently. :D Think AlunaGeorge will win it, but I'd prefer Laura Mvula to snatch it personally.
December 6, 201212 yr So, I'm guessing they're trying to make Laura Mvula into this 2013 Emeli Sande? HMM, missed her off my top 15 prediction for Sound of 2013 list - but I assume she'll be top 5 in it now (I realise Critics Choice and Sound Of 2013 aren't directly related but still..)
December 9, 201212 yr Author This is the list, according to the Independent's website: AlunaGeorge A*M*E Angel Haze Arlissa CHVRCHES Haim King Krule Kodaline Laura Mvula Little Green Cars Palma Violets Peace Savages The Weeknd Tom Odell No Bastille or The Neighbourhood, WTF? A few strange choices, but not too bad overall i guess
December 9, 201212 yr After revealing Michael Kiwanuka as their (anti climatic) winner for 2012, it'll be interesting to see who wins this for 2013. There seems to have been no buzz over the BBC Sound of 2013 poll whatsoever.
December 9, 201212 yr Author After revealing Michael Kiwanuka as their (anti climatic) winner for 2012, it'll be interesting to see who wins this for 2013. There seems to have been no buzz over the BBC Sound of 2013 poll whatsoever. Yeah, it has all been rather quiet, hasn't it? I think the top 5 might go something like this... 1. Laura Mvula 2. Haim 3. Kodaline 4. AlunaGeorge 5. Tom Odell
December 9, 201212 yr I'm now fully expecting an AlunaGeorge win, which would not be bad at all. Laura Mvula could also be in with a shot. Those two and HAIM will make the top 3, then Tom Odell 4th and the last spot in the top 5 I get the feeling will be Angel Haze. Shocked at the lack of Bastille.
December 9, 201212 yr Bastille have already had a decent sized hit, surely that makes them ineligible? Also Haim are not CAPITALISED.. I'm sure this has already been posted somewhere but the Bloggers Sound of 2013 (Which is announced on 3rd January 2013) is as follows: AlunaGeorge - Infectious R&B influenced pop from London Curxes - Dark industrial-pop electronic duo from Brighton and Portsmouth CHVRCHES – Scottish electro pop trio formed from a variety of other bands Daughter – Minimal / ambient sounding folk Haim – Classic rock from LA with pop sensibilities Laura Mvula – Jazz / soul singer hailing from Birmingham MØ – Hip soulful female vocal electronic pop from Denmark Palma Violets – Raw and energetic indie rock band Pins – Edgily cool and raucous all female indie band from Manchester Randolph’s Leap – Glasgow based indie folk pop with a twist of brass Rhye – Smooth and blissful pop duo Savages – Intense post-punk with female vocals Seasfire – Modern rock band from Bristol who mix electronic beats with guitars The Neighbourhood – Atmospheric Californian 5 piece rock / pop band Tom Odell – Piano based singer songwriter originally from Chichester Edited December 9, 201212 yr by Doctor Blind
December 9, 201212 yr AFAIA you're only ineligible if you've had a top 20 single or album, which Bastille haven't ('Flaws' peaked at #21).

Surprised that The 1975 didn't make the BBC List. I thought the blitz of publicity for them recently had guaranteed them a place, but evidently not. Nice to see two Irish bands on the list - expected to see Kodaline there, put Little Green Cars are a welcome inclusion. Quite a few guitar bands there - £20 says that there'll be countless "BBC says guitars are back" news items tomorrow.
December 9, 201212 yr Arlissa! :D AlunaGeorge and A*M*E are also great but more expected. Laura Mvula and Tom Odell, along with AG, will surely do well because of the Critic's Choice award. I could also see Haim, A*M*E and The Weeknd doing well.. and I'm guessing Kodaline too.
December 10, 201212 yr Sound of 2013 longlist ;; AlunaGeorge A*M*E Angel Haze Arlissa Chvrches Haim King Krule Kodaline Laura Mvula Little Green Cars Palma Violets Peace Savages The Weeknd Tom Odell
December 10, 201212 yr Some very odd omissions (no Bastille, Imagine Dragons or 1975?) and wasn't expecting a push for The Weeknd. In retrospect this year's should have probably gone: 01 Frank Ocean 02 Skrillex 03 Azealia Banks 04 Stooshe 05 Michael Kiwanuka / A$AP Rocky
