The BBC's Sound of 2024 list, which tips music's most exciting new stars, suggests dance and Afrobeats will dominate the next 12 months.
The 10 nominees include chart-topping drum and bass artist Kenya Grace and South Korean house DJ Peggy Gou.
South Africa's Tyla also makes the cut, hot on the heels of her hit single Water; as does Nigeria's Ayra Starr.
Now in its 22nd year, the list has predicted success for Adele, Stormzy, Wet Leg, Fred Again and PinkPantheress.
The winner and top five will be announced in early January.
