Earlier this week, All Songs Considered shared our favorite music from debut albums released in the first half of 2015. The NPR Music team also got together to make epic lists of albums and songs we already think might make our year-end lists in December. Now it's your turn.

Last week we asked you to tell us about your favorite new artists of the year so far. Your picks span genres from folk to rap to gospel (and beyond), and highlight some established artists and some performers just getting their start this year. There's overlap between your picks and ours — great minds, etc — as well as lots of suggestions for the All Songs team to explore.

We've compiled a sample of the results in a Spotify playlist, which you can stream below. If you didn't get a chance to submit to the survey, let us know what music you've loved this year in the comments.

In 1988, a determined Bob Boilen started showing up on NPR's doorstep every day, looking for a way to contribute his skills in music and broadcasting to the network. His persistence paid off, and within a few weeks he was hired, on a temporary basis, to work for All Things Considered. Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
