We think hyped up lists that predict who will be big in the forthcoming calendar year are getting stale, and ultimately what is the point? Most of them get it wrong anyway. Instead, we have narrowed down a shortlist (lol) of 150 new-ish artists who we are looking forward to hearing new material from in 2015. Nothing more, nothing less.

We’re doing things a little differently than last year, purely because of the sheer (and frankly ridiculous) size of the list we have for you. So you’ll be getting your fix in specially released batches of 25 artists, with six instalments in total.

// Part 1 – Complete
// Part 2 – Complete
// Part 3 – Complete
// Part 4 – Complete
// Part 5 – Complete
// Part 6 – Pending

We hope you enjoy our hard work, and please feel free to voice your opinions or suggest anyone that we have missed in the comments section.

Regardless of the success of these artists next year, we also request that you join us in giving them your undying love and support. <3
