Do you know the names Zara Larsson, Dua Lipa or Jacob Sartorius? You likely will by the time 2017 is through.
Dua Lipa
Already a star in many countries around the world, especially across Europe, Dua Lipa has the best chances of being the next huge internationally adored pop star of anybody in the game right now. The British singer scored hits with songs like “Hotter Than Hell” and “Blow Your Mind (Mwah),” and she has plenty of other phenomenal tracks that could explode once the masses catch on to her. The chanteuse is set to drop her debut full-length in early 2017, and if she gets the proper promotion, it could be a game changer here.
Anne-Marie
Even in early 2016, few people knew who Anne-Marie was, but that has all changed now. The pop/dance singer, who hails from Essex, England, made the most of this past year, and she’s likely going to end 2016 on a high note. Anne-Marie is currently featured on the song “Rockabye,” the latest hit from dance champions Clean Bandit. The catchy, upbeat track, which also features Sean Paul, has been on top of the British charts for six weeks and is still going strong. In addition to “Rockabye,” the young star has also sent her own single “Alarm” to the upper reaches of rankings around the world.
