Is anyone else, like, so totally over 2014?
It was the year that brought a whole new host of stars into our lives and made household names of chart-topping singers like Ariana Grande, Ella Henderson and Rixton, not to mention acting talent like Ansel Elgort and Sair Khan, but with a brand new year almost here, we’re ready for some fresh meat.
Enter: the breakout stars of 2015.

Believe us: in a year's time you'll recognise this lot
Over the next 12 months we’re preparing ourselves for some pretty epic film releases, including ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’, ‘Jurassic World’ and ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’, all of which boast fresh new talent among their cast, who we reckon we’ll be seeing a lot of over the course of 2015.
Meanwhile, in the world of music, Simon Cowell’s acts look set to continue to dominate the pop charts, mainly due to the forthcoming debut albums from former ‘X Factor’ stars Fifth Harmony and Tamera Foster. Of course, if you fancy something a bit less glossy, you need look no further than singer/songwriter James Bay, whose album will no doubt be a must-listen in 2015.
We’ve rounded up 12 stars from the world of music, film, reality TV and soaps, who we think are going to be ones to watch in 2015...

There's every chance you've heard of a little film called 'Fifty Shades of Grey', in which Dakota plays leading lady Anastasia Steele. Whatever your opinion on the S&M-laden film, we're pretty sure everyone's going to be talking about it for months to come, and with Dakota as its breakout star, that can only be good for her.

Not to be confused with the similarly-named children's TV presenter, Tommy has been a hot topic for 'TOWIE' fans ever since he made his reality debut earlier in 2014.Having already created plenty of drama, we reckon he could well fill the Joey Essex-shaped hole that's been noticeable in the most recent seasons of 'TOWIE'.

Tamera Foster(04 of12)

Remember Tamera? Possibly not, but she's the 'X Factor' star from 2013 who famously forgot her words on a number of occasions. Sounding more familiar now? Well, months after her elimination, she was signed to Simon Cowell's record label, with her debut release expected in 2015. While waiting such a long time to release new music may seem like a risk, the last time Simon did it was with chart-topper Ella Henderson, so let's hope it pays off once again... (credit:David M.

Fifth Harmony(05 of12)

One of the only acts from the American 'X Factor' who are still regularly in the newspapers, Fifth Harmony released their debut international single 'Sledgehammer' at the tail-end of 2014. With Simon Cowell as their manager, and a VMA for "ones to watch" already under their collective belt, we're predicting huge things from them in the next 12 months.

Young, talented and not exactly difficult-on-the-eyes, John Boyega is one of the newest stars of the forthcoming 'Star Wars' trilogy, the first installment of which is due in 2015. We reckon you're going to want to get used to his face, you're going to be seeing a lot of it this year. (credit:Eamonn McCormack via Getty Images)

With three critically-acclaimed EPs under his belt, we think 2015 will be the year that singer-songwriter James unleashes his debut on the world, and wins himself a rightful place as one of Britain's most celebrated young musicians. We do think there will be an army of mums dying to give that hair a chop, though... (credit:Maria Jefferis via Getty Images)

Having already been praised throughout her relatively short career for her appearances in London's West End, Twinnie Lee is about to already starting to cause ripples in 'Hollyoaks', since joining the cast as a new member of the McQueen clan, the classy-named Porsche. (credit:Rex/Tom Horton)
Patrick Schwarzenegger(09 of12)

We have a feeling his connection with a certain Ms Cyrus won't exactly do any harm to the public profile of this young actor and model - not to mention the fact he's already basically Hollywood royalty, what with his dad being the Muscles from Brussells himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Lily James(10 of12)

She's already waved goodbye to 'Downton Abbey' (at least for the time being), and now that she's taking the lead role in a new adaptation of one of Disney's most beloved classics, Lily James is undoubtedly one to watch in 2015. (credit:Gareth Cattermole via Getty Images)
