    POSTED

    Each year the BBC puts together a list of 16 artists they believe will be huge the next year. It's then whittled down to a top five with a winner eventually crowned.

    They've just delivered their Sound Of 2018 list with 16 fresh names that they believe have a shot at being big next year.

    It includes Finnish pop-innovator Alma, young maestro Billie Eilish, Tyler The Creator collaborator Rex Orange County and Norwegian powerhouse Sigrid.

    It also includes a few names that are already killing it worldwide including Khalid. 

    The list is usually pretty spot on with previous winners including Sam Smith, Adele, Ellie Goulding and HAIM. Last year's winner was RAY BLK but the list also included RAYE, Maggie Rogers, Stefflon Don and Dave who have all had huge years.

    Check out the full list below and read more about each here. The winner will be crowned on 8th January 2018.
