10 ACTS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2010


They'll be shitloads of these lists in the next few months so I thought I'd jump in with one:

Ellie Goulding - http://www.myspace.com/elliegoulding Not so much of a choice, as an automatic.

Local Natives - http://www.myspace.com/localnatives Debut album out already and it's great, you really should have it. They'll do well in the Fleet Foxes market.

Delphic - http://www.myspace.com/delphic Album out in January. Expect the Manchester electronic-indie three-piece to get quite popular.

Marina & the Diamonds - http://www.myspace.com/marinaandthediamonds Plain pop music that will be big.

Hurts - http://www.myspace.com/ithurts Not my thing, but tipped for a massive label push.

Drake - http://www.myspace.com/thisisdrake Rapper already huge in America.

Esben & the Witch - http://www.myspace.com/esbenandthewitch Scary stuff, a bit like Portishead.

Stornoway - http://www.myspace.com/stornoway Already been on Jools Holland. Folk & harmonies.

Tinie Tempah - http://www.myspace.com/tinielegend UK hip-hop.

Bicycle Thieves - http://www.myspace.com/bicyclethievesuk Dark indie.
