Looking at our list of ones to watch in 2013 makes us very happy indeed. If just a handful of these break into the mainstream, we've got a very exciting 12 months ahead of us.
The following list is artists you need to know in 2013. We're not going to tip any for success because we all know it doesn't happen like that. Sometimes the diamonds sink to the bottom while garbage floats to the top - it's just the way it is. The following list of artists are the ones we feel are going to be amazing in the coming months, whether they score Top Ten success or instead become a lost treasure with a small but devoted following.
Some of the artists on the list have experienced a taste of chart success already and others are fresh out of the starting blocks. From the revival in indie bands to artists flying the flag for a new breed of high class pop, we've kept the lists as varied as possible.
Check out the artists we think you need to know in 2013 below.
