• Lucy Hale and Action Bronson are a couple of names to keep in mind%2C according to Shazam
• So are Banks and Jhene Aiko
• 400 million people around the world use Shazam daily

For new artists, Lorde ruled 2013. How about 2014?

Shazam releases its Artists to Watch list, which points to Lucy Hale and Action Bronson, to name a couple. Considering that 400 million people use the music-tagging service globally (the app "tags" a song every time users hold up a tablet or smartphone to figure out what they're listening to), Shazam-ers could be right.

We'll revisit in 2015.
