Top 23 Musicians To Watch In 2014

BanksLast year Haim topped the BBC's Sound of 2013 list and made Shazam's 2013 New Artists to Watch list. This year Banks and Sam Smith make both lists. Both the BBC and Shazam came up with interesting lists of musicians that should be worth checking out if you're not already familiar with them. Since there are overlaps that gives us a list of 23 musicians to watch in 2014.

The BBC "list was compiled using tips from 170 tastemakers, who each named their favourite three emerging artists."

Shazam's list was created by the "Shazam music team [who] selected the following artists by starting with qualitative industry tastemaker selections, which is then ranked using the quantitative data of Shazams of those artists."
