Now, what a "breakout" is debatable in some cases, and this can be regulated to the US or on a more international basis. But nonetheless, a few artists to hit mainstream traction this year are:
Lil Dicky
Lauren Daigle
MAX
Lil Baby
Luke Combs
BLACKPINK
Bazzi
King & Prince
RM
LAY
Kris Wu
I'm positive there are others. Feel free to mention.

Ella Mai. There weren't really any other breakout acts this year that caught my attention beyond maybe a single or two.

I don't think there was a single new artist I cared about in 2018, which I want to blame on the lack of interesting new music but I also realize it's because of my own lack of willingness to seek out new music and just stick with the artists I already know and love. We'll see if 2019 repeats that.

Lil Baby and Gunna. 6 months ago I would've laughed at that statement but one Drip Too Hard later and here we are.

Juice WRLD and Lil Baby. 6IX9INE too if he counts, but he has GUMMO which rose to success towards the very end of 2017 albeit had FEFE in 2018

Ella Mai and Bazzi for sure. I would say Ava Max too, but she'll probably really blow on 2019

This has been a very weak year IMO. Ella Mai is the only one for me. Everything else I liked this year was from established artists

Hardly any tbh. Ella Mai would probably be at the top of my list and that's saying something considering I only know Boo'd Up and Trip from her (I haven't gotten around to the album yet, but I will soon). No breakthrough has done much for me this year at all unfortunately.

I'm shocked no one mentioned Billie Eilish. She's like the new teenage angst icon, and a streaming monster.
My personal Top 10:
1. H.E.R.
2. Ella Mai
3. Billie Eilish
4. ALMA
5. Madison Beer
6. Mahalia
7. Rina Sawayama
8. Jacob Banks
9. Jessie Reyez
10. Kiana LedΓ©

Yeah...her album was released by the end of last year, but it was in this year that "Focus" and "The Best Part" both reached #1 on R&B chart. So I consider her to belong to this year.

I forgot to mention my own. Unsurprisingly a J-pop group. "Cinderella Girl" by King & Prince is actually my #1 of 2018 on my personal charts. It was #1 for 10 weeks.

If she counts, Sabrina Carpenter.
"Almost Love" was one of my favorite songs this year, and I'm hoping that "Sue Me" can be a hit in the upcoming months.
