"Inside Track" -- VH1 lets you in on who we think is hot right now



John Legend -- Soul singer/pianist John Legend began singing gospel at age five and never looked back. He's played with Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and Kanye West -- so it's not surprising that his album Get Lifted takes hip hop, soul and R&B to places they've never been.

Snow Patrol -- This Brit quartet refers to themselves as "hopeless romantics" but their fusion of pop and raw alternative riffs takes their sound to a whole new level. Go to VH1.com to get the lowdown on their American tour and find out what their album The Final Straw is really all about.

Keane -- Hailing from the teeny southern-Brit town of Battle, Keane has mastered the art of soft-rocking, piano-driven, melodic pop as sweet and infectious as it comes. If you don't believe us, just check the U.K. charts, where the trio's album Hopes and Fears spent four weeks at #1. If you want to hear more, check out live and exclusive Keane performances at Live@VH1.com.
