Most Promising Debut Albums of the 2010s

The Top Ten
1 Songs of Love and Death - Beyond the Black

A truly beautiful debut album by a symphonic rock band with great potential. The song are sometimes gentle, sometimes heavy, and unusually catchy. It was a sleeper hit in Germany where they already are assumed to join the genre's throne next to Nightwish and Within Temptation in the near future (and after two brilliant albums, there is no doubt of their incredible talent), but the band didn't make it big outside of their home country yet.

2 Berlin - Jamie-Lee
3 Hell On Heels - Pistol Annies
4 Pink Friday - Nicki Minaj
5 Dream With Me - Jackie Evancho

Jackie is most definitely an international star - she has performed in Japan (twice), Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Florence (Italy), Bali (Indonesia), Toronto and Edmonton (Canada), St. Petersburg (Russia), Costa Rica and London. She just returned to the U.S. from China, where she has released a new single,"Set Me Free". Not bad for a teenage schoolgirl whose educational obligations have limited her touring.

Her first full-length major studio album won gold certification for Jackie at the age of 11. Now 17 years old, Jackie is an internationally recognized singing star and has released her seventh album "Two Hearts", including four songs she co-wrote.
