NEW & DEVELOPING ARTISTS: FLASHCARDS FOR WHAT'S NEXT

Our Q2 Roundup of Acts Poised to Break

It’s time once again for the HITS New & Developing Artists issue, your one-stop shop for tomorrow’s breakout acts. Previous editions showcased such then-untested talents as Adele, Hozier, Katy Perry and Mumford & Sons.

Which of this new batch will achieve success beyond the wildest dreams of the people who will live off a percentage of their earnings? Don’t ask us. But we do know that this new crop includes such compelling artists as G.O.O.D./Def Jam’s Desiigner, Teleport’s Bishop Briggs, Glassnote’s Strumbellas, Capitol’s Catfish & the Bottlemen, RCA’s GRACE, Mom+Pop’s Flume, Hollywood’s Sofia Carson, Interscope’s AlunaGeorge, Mercury Nashville/19/Interscope’s Lauren Alaina and RCA Nashville/Zone 4’s Kane Brown.
