1. Nickelback
Nickelback
"We never take anything for granted," says Nickelback's Chad Kroeger. But this is one band that certainly could. Since they exploded out of Alberta some 13 years ago, Nickelback has been hit-making, multi-platinum band whose last album, 2005's All The Right Reasons is one of the most successful of the century, and has stoked great expectations for the quartet's sixth album, Dark Horse.

2. Rihanna
Rihanna
There's nothing like the warm spirit of the Caribbean to re-energize a dry, stale season of the same old song and dance. And with summer fast approaching there couldn't be a better time for Barbados-born singer Rihanna to break into an industry that is eager to celebrate the next big thing. Thanks to multi-platinum island-born superstars like Sean Paul, Shaggy and Elephant Man, the mainstream has been primed for a rhythmic female star to step into the forefront of popular music.

3. Lil' Wayne
Lil' Wayne
Although there has been much debate on the subject of who is or who isn't the "King of the South," Lil Wayne isn't worried about all the fuss as to who really lays claim to the title. As a veteran rap star, budding entrepreneur, and young scholar studying psychology at the University of Houston, Wayne's experience in the rap game, coupled with his amazing growth as an individual has placed him in a position only a handful of people in this industry reach.

4. Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne is a girl who knows what she wants. And when it came to writing her eagerly awaited third album, The Best Damn Thing, she had one very clear goal in mind: To make it fun. Read more ...
5. Mobile
Mobile
Integrity. It's often the first thing to get thrown overboard on a sinking ship, and while the music industry is far from sunk, it's doubtless listing to one side. And so, as an artist, it would be tempting to play it safe, to allow oneself to be swept in the direction of the prevailing winds and, in short, to do as little as possible to rock the boat. Well, that just isn't the Mobile way. Read more ...
6. Blink-182
Blink-182
It's almost a given that the story of blink-182 is already familiar to most fans of current rock music. The scrappy pop-punk band forms in suburban San Diego in 1993, releases their debut album Cheshire Cat on a local label. Four LPs, countless stages and several million albums later, the band ends up as one of the world's most wanted, most recognized and most emulated pop-punk acts. However, it's the new story of blink-182 that's rather different. Read more ...
7. Beyonce
Beyonce
Like an elite athlete, an artist is hard-wired to reach a goal and then, having achieved it, to raise the bar even higher, always pushing to perform at top capacity, crafting a personal best. Beyonce knows this. She's blessed with a relentless spirit that fuels her. "Everything that I do creatively has to make me work harder and hopefully steer me in a direction I've never been before, " she explains. Read more ...
8. Lady GaGa
Lady GaGa
When Lady GaGa was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy's arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy Upper West Side restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit. Read more ...
9. Akon
Akon
The versatile musical dichotomy is always at the heart of each Akon album. It could be a metaphor for the man himself. On one hand there is an extrovert whose tireless devotion is entertaining crowds and fan interaction has caused both adorations and misunderstandings. On the other, a serious businessman who has quickly built an empire that includes a record label, fashion line and charity foundation. In short, an open artist who regrets nothing, but constantly is learning from past experiences. Read more ...
10. T.I.
T.I.
T.I. has grown to truly be one of his generation's most captivating speakers. Whether he's conversing frankly with a room full of youth about the positive side of staying in school and following their dreams, or moving tens of thousands at one of his concerts, audiences are engrossed by the King of the South's words. On September 30, 2008, he delivers his most potent and important LP to date, Paper Trail. Read more ...
