Showbiz Briefs: Women Dominate BBC’s Sound Of List

Women dominate the BBC’s Sound Of 2022 list, which tips new music for success in the coming year.

Eight of the 10 nominees are female – including pop provocateur Baby Queen and quirky indie band Wet Leg.

They’re joined by garage revivalist Pink Pantheress, drill star Central Cee and Lola Young – the voice behind this year’s John Lewis Christmas advert.

Now in its 20th year, the Sound Of list has predicted success for the likes of Adele, Stormzy, Haim and George Ezra.
