Answer 1

Here are some facts I thought you would find useful...

Lily Allen she does pop,Hyphy/Ska music.
Lady Sovereign she is a grime artist who also does garage

These are Grime/Rap/MC'S/Hip-Hop artists...Kano,DJ Ironik,Tinie Tempah,N Dubz (a group)

Here is a piece from Wikiedpia
London and its surrounding Home Counties have spawned iconic and popular artists. London is home to the first and original Hard Rock Cafe and the famous Abbey Road Studios where The Beatles created many of their hits. Musicians such as Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix and Freddie Mercury have lived in London.[100] Famous musicians and groups associated with London include The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Iron Maiden, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Cliff Richard, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. London was instrumental in the development of punk music, with figures such as the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Jam, and Vivienne Westwood all based in the city.

Some other artists from London are:Kate Nash,Kano,Craig David,Mark Ronson,Dizzee Rascal,Amy Winehouse,The Streets.

I would say Indie,Rock,Grime,Hip-Hop,MC and R&B are pretty popular styles of music nowdays.
