Sam Smith is that British singer who basically specializes in giving you all the heart-on-the-sleeve anthems. The falsetto is real with "Latch," their breakout jam. They've won a bunch of Grammys (like five!) and even snagged an Oscar for a song. Oh, and fun fact: Sam's related to Lily Allen! Also, kids, they had liposuction at 12 because of bullying — heavy stuff, but it all led to this amazing career.

You know that guy with the marshmallow helmet? That's Marshmello, making dance floors light up with hits like "Alone" and the catchy "Happier" with Bastille. But surprise! He's not just a DJ; he's the lead singer of a pop-punk band called Underbrook. Hats off to that versatility!

Jojo Siwa is that super bubbly singer and dancer you can’t escape from if you have kids around. Got her start on Dance Moms and then exploded with the boppin’ track "Boomerang." She even started rocking merch that every kid wants. Oh, and she started dancing solo at age two—basically a baby superstar.
