Watch: The 1975 and London Grammar perform on Top Of The Pops
Ellie Goulding and more get festive on NYE special
- 2. Flume - Flume: While everyone was talking about the arrival of Disclosure and Rudimental this year, as far as we're concerned, the British stars were beaten to the top by Australian youngster, Harley Streten. Flume's debut album was an innovative and impressive collection of unique and distinctive electronica, mixing hip-hop influences with epic electronic beats. Leaping from laid back to pounding beats in an instant, tracks such as 'On Top', 'Insane' and 'Holding On' blew the roof off his live nights and festival shows. An essential electronic masterpiece.

The 1975, London Grammar and Ellie Goulding were all among the acts to take to the hallowed Top Of The Pops stage for a New Year's Eve special. Check out their performances below.
In a glitzy performance and flanked by disco balls, The 1975 performed breakthrough single 'Chocolate'. In a tender and stripped-down performance, London Grammar put on their Sunday best for a totally heart-wrenching and breath-taking rendition of 'Strong'. Ellie Goulding performed 'Anything Can Happen' too, which was wonderful.
It all made for a pretty good snap-shot of music in 2013, and made us feel all gooey and nostalgic already. TAKE US BACK.
