What I meant was the tastemakers are always tipping the next big thing as someone with a bit of an edge or boring authenticity about them. Like the year when they put gave Tom Garratt the prize and snubbed Dua Lipa and Mabel.

 

So it's funny that within days of 2021 starting, a girl from the Disney Channel has shot straight to number 1. Not that they should've necessarily seen her coming.

 

It’s Jack Garratt actually and his last album was an absolute masterpiece and it’s a complete injustice it didn’t sell well. Mabel winning that prize would have been a joke. Commercial success doesn’t mean anyone’s better than anyone else.

Yeah I don't think the people voting for the Sound of poll are under any illusion that their 'boring' 'authentic' picks are going to be the year's biggest chart stars. If that was ever the point of the poll there would have been a bunch of X Factor artists included on it every year back in the day.

 

Except..

"The Sound Of list started in 2003 with the aim to showcase the most exciting rising stars in music. 18 years later, and the aim is the same - to continue predicting some of the biggest and most exciting global superstars" :P

ooh... would love to see Gary Numan back in the top 40, Intruder sounds pretty awesome on first listen :wub:

Also the sound of nominated acts if I am not mistaken deliberately seem to be mostly British too, limiting the number of international acts on the list.

I wouldn't call Mabel a global superstar :D

Tiesto on the brink of the Top 10 :o Will be interesting to see if Radio 1 support this one!
