In at number one is the new Rock/Electronic powerhouse that is PVRIS. Yesterday Empty Lighthouse reported the brand new video for their song "White Noise," off the album of the same title and with that new video comes a resurgence of the track onto the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart.
The song is a powerful and haunting energy filled display of a vibrant sound.
The official video matches it with the same intensity and adds a bit of a dark side by using "Insidious" and "Poltergeist" as muses for the story line.

The number two spots belongs to Toro Y Moi and his psychedelic track, "Run Baby Run." The song has an overall 70's flower power feel. It's the sound of a sunny California day out on the beach, soaking up the sun and surfing the waves.
It's well put together and features delicate lyrics and puts the good in fell good music. "Run Baby Run," is off Toro Y Moi's, "What For?" album, set to release on April 7.

Allan Kingdom has received a steady push in stardom from his appearance on Kanye West's "All Day." However, Kingdom is making a push all on his on with the energetic track, "Keep It Easy," that currently holds the number three spot on the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart. Kingdom's style while all his own, bares a slight resemblance to that of Travi$ Scott, another G.O.O.D. Music artist who was brought to the forefront by Kanye West. Kingdom shows amazing signs of a true artist, take a listen into the future below.

The fourth spot belongs to the rich sound of Unknown Mortal Orchestra and the hit "Multi-Love." The song follows the pattern of Toro Y Moi's sound with a slightly dated old school sound with new life breathed into it by the electronic influences.
The music video further enhances the disco/dance sound of "Multi-Love" and the song itself is a pleasure to listen to.

Rounding out the top five is Years and Years and their infectious track "King." Years and Years seem to never leave the top five as of the past month or so. They have a sound that embraces the new wave of EDM music with deep lyrics and great visuals.
They continue their reign in the top five with multiple hits gracing the charts in the past.
