    HAVEN. to win

  • I’m rooting for Rose Gray. She has been consistently releasing fantastic music this year, and quite frankly she deserves to get that big mainstream break.

  • Look forward to seeing which of Chari XCX, Dua Lipa or Lewis Capaldi gets chosen as their unknown hot tip for 2026. I miss when this used to be actually interesting.

I absolutely love Rose but, correct me if I’m wrong, R1 have only supported ‘Girls’ with TSHA which is strange considering they’ve jumped on Alessi Rose who is at a similar level to her.

Long list being announced next Tuesday.

She supported Sabrina at Hyde Park I think.

Shes been around for a while I remember her song Heat with Paul Woolford which made the playlist a few years ago.

The soundtrack to the next 12 months will match cutting-edge pop with jangly guitar anthems. That's according to the shortlist for BBC Radio 1's Sound of 2026, which tips new music for the coming year.

The nominees include US singer-songwriter Sombr, whose lush harmonies and yearning pop-rock songs have already earned him a clutch of UK top 10 singles.

Also in the running are Aussie skate-rock duo Royel Otis and nervy post-punk outfit Geese. They're joined by up-and-coming pop singers Chloe Qisha, Skye Newman and Alessi Rose - who supported Dua Lipa on tour this summer.

The remaining nominees for 2026 include breakout rap star Jim Legxacy, Irish rockers Florence Road, R&B singer Kwn and singer-songwriter Sasha Keable - a former collaborator with Disclosure and Jorja Smith.

This year's list was compiled from votes by an international panel of more than 170 industry experts and artists including Sir Elton John, Dua Lipa, Jade, Olivia Dean, Yungblud and Sam Smith.

It is open to acts who have yet to score a number one album or more than three top 10 singles by 31 October 2025. Artists who already have a "significant public profile" are also ineligible.
