December 2, 2025Dec 2 sombr is a bit too established IMO but the list is not shocking and baffling otherwise.
December 2, 2025Dec 2 I think this is a pretty good list, although sombr sticks out as someone who shouldn’t be on the Sound of 2026 list (I’d be surprised if his 2026 is bigger than his 2025 has been).EsDeeKid not getting longlisted is a surprise!

I would argue him and Skye Newman both have significant public profiles. Good to see Alessi Rose on there I can’t wait to see her live on Saturday but I’m fully prepared for them to just give it to sombr and claim they made him successful. They didn’t playlist ‘back to friends’ but ‘undressed’ and ‘12 to 12’ were A Listed.Madness, how did they miss BTF? It’s one of the biggest sellers of the year!

Monday at 13:573 days I need to give Royel Otis more of a listen because I had a small phase of loving Who’s Your Boyfriend earlier this year, not sure if I’ve heard anything else by them.
Monday at 15:493 days Terrible time to be promoting Royel Otis when they’ve been making some less-than-pleasant headlines in the past couple of days.
Tuesday at 07:393 days Geese are number 4! Surprised they aren’t higher to be honest. I thought they had a good chance of winning it
Wednesday at 12:241 day Sombr is #3!That leaves:Alessi RoseChloe QishaFlorence RoadJim LegxacyKwn Sasha KeableSkye NewmanJim and Skye seem the most obvious candidates for the final two top 5 positions, but I’m here for someone else claiming one of these spots!
Wednesday at 19:261 day I think Alessi Rose could be one too? Although I’m not sure which of Jim or Skye would miss out because I think all 3 will have big years

Not that he doesn’t deserve it it’s just he shouldn’t be nominated for an award like this.
23 hours ago23 hr Jim Legxacy is the runner up, can only assume the win is going Skye Newman's way which... eh, not the most inspired choice xActually hasn't been a male winner since 2021.
23 hours ago23 hr Skye Newman is gonna win this, isn't she? I mean they would so pick someone with big UK hits already like Chappell Roan...
21 hours ago21 hr Yeah that’s a shame reallly - I’d have liked Jim to win it. It feels like he’s just at the right stage of his career to really benefit!
