With the ever increasing number of people creating lists of ‘the best of’ at the end of each year – making lists of things or artists who pundits (or even your average Joe) will make it big seems to be on the increase as well. Stereogum have listed several UK experts forecasts.

Of the artists listed, I have to say Duffy is certainly someone I shall be watching for in the coming months heaving heard her performance on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny (and from earlier in the series).

  Duffy I would have to describe as being a 21st century Dusty Springfield.
