BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED

As "This Town"—Niall Horan's first solo attempt since leaving 1D—went Most Added at Pop radio with 100+ adds, and became the #6 digital song in the country with 48k sold in first 18 hours, it only seemed natural to debut the Capitol balladeer at #1 in our Vibe Raters list of buzzing acts poised to break. He and Columbia buzzband COIN, whose "Talk Too Much" is approaching the Alt radio Top 20, are the only two acts to join this week.
