"You Oughta Know" -- VH1 fills you in on artists on the rise. Get acquainted with these essential new artists.

Daniel Powter -- Daniel Powter is having anything but a bad day. In 2005, his single "Bad Day" was the biggest airplay song in Europe and its now becoming a big hit in America too. "American Idol" has even picked up the song as their theme for departing contestants. Fans of smart, insightful pop music will be happy to hear his self titled album is scheduled to be released on April 11th.

The Fray -- With the release of their debut album, "How To Save A Life," The Fray are ready to show the world that Denver actually is a "rock city." The timeless songs on their debut are soaring ballads with a ragged edge. Led by choir-trained singer Isaac Slade, the band invokes the sound of Coldplay mixed with Bright Eyes.

KT Tunstall -- KT Tunstall has become a sensation in Great Britain with her soulful style of songwriting. Her debut, "Eye to the Telescope" is an intimate album with a rock crunch that comes from an appreciation for the beats of Bo Diddley.

James Blunt -- This ex-soldier has gone from riding in tanks to topping the UK charts with the ballad "You're Beautiful," that Elton John has compared to his own hit "Your Song." The candor and catchiness of Back to Bedlam is the reason for Blunt's success -- the CD showcases a disarmingly tender voice that speaks with the heart of a true romantic.
