The landscape of pop music has changed greatly in recent years. Part of it has to do with general trends, and part of it has to do with the emergence of new media. Regardless, some new names have emerged recently and the music world is better off for it.
There are a handful of new superstars on the scene that seemingly came out of nowhere. Three years ago, these names were unknown, yet now they're some of the most recognized ones in the world.
Who are the biggest names in the pop music world entering the new year? Well, let's have a look at a few of them here.
Whether you love them or hate them, the Jonas Brothers aren't going anywhere. This group of three wholesome American brothers has some decent music to back up their good looks, and they'll remain one of the biggest names in music this coming year.
How about Lady Gaga? Whether it was Poker Face, Bad Romance, or any other one of her hits, she was all over the place last year. Her shows sell out, and her music videos are highly anticipated.
Garnering comparisons from Madonna to many others, she's a tour de force in the world of music right now and her records sell like wildfire.
There's also Taylor Swift. With a twinge of country inflected into her pop music, her songs are reminiscent of that 90s pop that dominated the airwaves for so long, and that may be what makes her so successful. Her good looks and charming personality never hurt either.
Lastly, let's go with another newcomer to the scene. Adam Lambert wowed millions of Americans during his stint on American Idol. While he ultimately lost the competition to Kris Allen, this second place finisher will likely be the more popular artist going forward.
Lambert has an absolutely huge fan base, and his debut release received some pretty high marks from critics. Expect to see more of this glam-rock singing talent for a while.
