List: BBC Sound of 2010

The BBC have announced the winner of their Sound of 2010 list. Last year's winner Little Boots didn't have the same success as their number 2, La Roux. So anyone in the top ten could have a truly breakout year, but you should have a listen to all the acts and see who's worth watching. Other former winners include Mika, Adele, Keane and 50 Cent.

5. The Drums


4. Hurts


3. Delphic


2. Marina and the Diamonds

Stream: Caitlin Rose - Dead Flowers EP

Fantastic American country-popstrell Caitlin Rose will release her debut EP Dead Flowers on February 15th. Strangely enough Dead Flowers was also the name of Miranda Lambert's EP last year. However, Caitlin's takes its name from the cover of the Rolling Stones' 'Dead Flowers' which appears on the EP. In case you're wondering, 'Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray' is a cover of that Patsy Cline song. Excellent. You can stream the EP in full online now ahead of its physical release.

Tracklist:
1. Shotgun Wedding
2. Answer in One of These Bottles
3. Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray
4. Docket
5. Gorilla Man
6. Dead Flowers
7. T-Shirt
