sombr is a bit too established IMO but the list is not shocking and baffling otherwise.

  • 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 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’m confused because sombr has had three Top 10 singles before 31st October 2025? 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!

It blew up at the same time as undressed, which got the radio and streaming playlist push as the current single and therefore peaked higher at the time!

That’s why personal charts are so important (to me) I charted BTF in the spring then added Undressed to my playlist in late summer so they had seperate chart runs

Could you not have playlisted and charted them both together? kink

Nope way too confusing for my chart listening hues 🤣

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.

Terrible time to be promoting Royel Otis when they’ve been making some less-than-pleasant headlines in the past couple of days.

Geese are number 4! Surprised they aren’t higher to be honest. I thought they had a good chance of winning it

Sombr is #3!

That leaves:

Alessi Rose

Chloe Qisha

Florence Road

Jim Legxacy

Kwn

Sasha Keable

Skye Newman

Jim 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!

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

Yay at sombr not winning! Not that he doesn’t deserve it it’s just he shouldn’t be nominated for an award like this.

Jim Legxacy is the runner up, can only assume the win is going Skye Newman's way which... eh, not the most inspired choice x

Actually hasn't been a male winner since 2021.

Skye Newman is gonna win this, isn't she? I mean they would so pick someone with big UK hits already like Chappell Roan...

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!
