This playlist features 50 emerging artists who, based on Shazam data reviewed by our editors, are poised to have a breakthrough year.
Shazam highlighted five artists to keep a close eye on, including Nigerian singer-songwriter Bloody Civilian, hip-hop duo Flyana Boss, South African singer Kenya Grace, indie rock band The Last Dinner Party, and K-pop group RIIZE.
