Too hard to pick a run from DMS!
In terms of flow the first 3 tracks are pretty unsurpassed, but in terms of big old classics in a row maybe shift it to 2-4.

I’m broadly in agreement but the BBC list has always been (rightly or wrongly) aiming very much for acts not yet in the *mainstream* consciousness. Chappell is the one that tests this most this year, but it’s not entirely new- Lady Gaga was on Sound of 2009 after a not exactly under the radar 2008.
