At the start of every year, BBC rounds up a lot of UK critics and gets them to predict who’ll be big that year. Previous winners have been The Bravery (who narrowly beat Bloc Party), Mika, and Corrine Bailey Rae.

This year they have the next Amy Winehouse at #1, and the next Amy Winehouse at #2. I personally prefer the #2 version. Other acts taking my fancy are Foals (who I’ve seen live), Glasvegas (the new Arctic Monkeys), and the wildly eccentric Vampire Party.

You can check out the top 10, and listen to a track by each here:
