Melanie Adele Martinez is an American singer and songwriter. Melanie Martinez auditioned for the American television vocal talent show The Voice and became a member of Team Adam. What other songwriter can name their songs after childhood things like Mrs. Potato head dolls and training wheels? No one can do that. Should be first, though this is one of the first times I have seen Mel this high on a TopTens list. The lowest I've ever seen her was 606!
Happy she is on this list but she should be higher up. She produces great music that is different but amazing and lovely. Good Songs by her: Dollhouse, Carousel, Pity Party, Mad Hatter, Sippy Cup, Cry Baby, Soap and Training Wheels.
One of the most creative singers with the most unique sounds at music industry.
So unique and amazing a puts a huge point out with her music

Hot Songs

Best inspiration rapper of all time, one of the best because of the meaning in his music.

Oh Wonder are a London-based alt-pop duo, consisting of Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West. Since releasing their DIY debut album, they have seen international success with their mellow, slow-grooving, R&B-flecked alt-pop tunes. This is so underrated.
Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, known by her stage name Halsey, is an American singer and songwriter. She was born on September 29, 1994 in New Jersey. She started her career by releasing songs on SoundCloud, and now she is a well-known pop singer with hits like Bad at Love, and Now or Never. She had originated from Tumblr, and believes Hotel Shampoo is racist. So glad she's in this Top 10 list, she totally deserves it! I would've voted for Melanie or Troye, but since they're #1 & #2 I've chosen to vote for Halsey, because she's still too underrated. I wish I would hear more of hear on the radio, not just always Closer, it's definitely not like all the other songs on her album.
Glad to know that Halsey is getting more popular and she deserves it as she is a fantastic artist that makes great music. Check her out!
The Chainsmokers are an American DJ and production duo consisting of Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart. The EDM-pop duo achieved a breakthrough with their 2014 song "#Selfie", which was a top twenty single in several countries. Yes! I love The Chainsmokers! 11/10 to them!
Kiara Saulters, known professionally as Kiiara, is an American singer and songwriter from Wilmington, Illinois. She is currently signed to Atlantic Records. Her 2015 single "Gold" peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. One listen to "Gold" or "Feels" will put one into a dreamy trance filled with questions about real life emotions and how life can feel so so empty as she says in "Feels" "I've got way to many feels way to much emotion and I don't know whats real and I just hate it keep on going".

1. Gold
2. Feels
3. Put the Phone Down

Sidney Royel Selby III (born May 3, 1997), better known by his stage name Desiigner, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, record executive and actor. He rose to prominence in 2016 after the release of his debut single "Panda", which reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In February 2016, rapper and producer Kanye West (who sampled "Panda" for his seventh album The Life of Pablo), announced Desiigner's signing to his GOOD Music imprint, under the aegis of Def Jam Recordings. I will admit he may sound like a Future ripoff but the more you listen to Panda, the more you realize he does differentiate in voice compared to Future. Besides he does have a good flow.
Panda actually has a very good flow of words. Desiigner might end up being a big thing if he keeps it up with some solid songs.
Give him a few years and he'll be one of the best ever to do it.
