What new music or artists have you heard recently have you excited for 2018?

 

Erik Bradley, B96: Bazzi. Love him and think he’s going to be a superstar.

 

Java Joel, WAKS: Bazzi “Mine” and Marshmello & Anne-Marie track, “FRIENDS” will be BIG!

Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: This might be the year that Dua Lipa and Charlie Puth become core artists. Dua is on a great roll and Charlie’s coming off of two Top 5’s with another monster, plus a collaboration with G-Eazy that’s fantastic.

Mike “OD” O’Donnell, WKRZ: I think Camila Cabello is a great solo artist for 2018, her stuff really resonates. I like the new Jack & Jack single, it’s a good record that could be something. I also think the Iggy Azalea is a great track.

Brian Mack, WXXL: At the recent Summit I thought female singer / songwriter Fletcher (indie artist) was really cool.

Jammer, WEZB: Alice Merton, Marshmello & Anne-Marie, ZEDD and Troye Sivan.

 

Rod Phillips, iHeartMedia: Our new iHeartCountry On The Verge Artist, Morgan Evans is a future super star!

Chris Michaels, FM100: New Kelly Clarkson and James Bay are great.

Derrick “DC” Cole, WAEB: I’m excited for this Alice Merton project, I think she will have a great year on the Alternative side of the charts and hopefully some cross over opportunities.

 Reid, KZZP: Julia Michaels, Dua Lipa and ZEDD.

Bob Patrick, WXLK: Hayley Kiyoko. Love her new song!

Mike Miller, WZFT: Marshmello and Dua Lipa.

 


Skip Kelly, WKSL: Bazzi “Mine,” Arlissa “Hearts Ain’t Gonna Lie,” Hayley Kiyoko “Curious,” Marshmello & Anne-Marie “Friends,” Iggy Azalea “Savior.”

Jeff Hurley, WHKF/WLAN: I love the new Hayley Kiyoko. It’s a very cool project!

Rick Vaughn, Power 94.9: Janelle Monae!

Gina Gray, WERO: I love the Troye Sivan and Foster The People singles. Those are my legit-lit-hits!


Fish Boy, WKRZ: I’m excited for Why Don’t We and the new Iggy Azalea. On the new artist front, I like Gavin James which is currently breaking on the HAC side. I think there’s some promise there.

Sophia John, KIWR: Cane Hill…very happy for this sound, much needed!

Mase, WWCD: Ty Segall “Everyone’s A Winner” It’s NASTY!!!

 

Matt Talluto, WYBR: I’m still liking Greta Van Fleet. Can’t wait to hear their next album. Want more from Highly Suspect as well.

 Kevin Cruise, KUDD: The new Carrie Underwood f/Ludacris has a great Pop feel. I believe in the Hayley Kiyoko new record.

Dan Hunt, WWPW: New Logic is FIRE!

Kobe, WWHT: I excited to see what Drake is going to deliver us. Just hearing “God’s Plan” and knowing that he’s going to be dropping an ep. I’m really excited to see what else he has up his sleeve. Looking forward to more Marshmello, and a new Alessia Cara.

Jon Zellner. iHeartMedia: Morgan Evans, Alice Merton and Janelle Monae.

Rich Davis, KDWB: In no particular order: Next G Eazy with Charlie Puth, new Meghan Trainor, Janelle Monae, Ocean Park Standoff, Lil Dickey (video), BSB, Iggy Azalea.

Rob Roberts, WRQX: The Bleachers, Snow Patrol and Troye Sivan. And “Never Be The Same” by Camila Cabella is an amazing song.

Randi West, WMTX: New music from Backstreet Boys and Meghan Trainor.


Brian Michel, iHeartMedia / Atlanta: Jake Owen, really, really good stuff coming!

Bailey, KTCL: SuperorganismTwo Feet and Banners

Tony Waitekus, WHTQ: I’m looking forward to anything Bruno Mars puts out. In my opinion, he is today’s top entertainer.
