Flycell Announces Top 10 Ringtone Downloads for December 2008

Top Artists:

Kanye West1. Kanye West – In the span of a few years, from 2001 to 2004, Kanye West went from hip-hop beatmaker to worldwide hitmaker, as his stellar production work for Jay-Z earned him a major-label recording contract as a solo artist. Soon his beats were accompanied by his own witty raps on a number of critically and commercially.

Soulja Boy2. Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em – He is among the youngest of the new generation of rap stars, and there is still some debate as to whether he will lead a new movement in rap, or will spiral into obscurity following the wild success of his first single, ‘Crank That,’ which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Keyshia Cole3. Keyshia Cole – What makes Keyshia Cole unique among all the other Atlanta-based R&B singer-songwriters with a pretty face and a soulful voice is that BET has a reality TV show that follows her as she lives her life as an Atlanta-based R&B singer-songwriter with a pretty face and a soulful voice.

Ludacris4. Ludacris – According to Ludacris’s buddy Bill O’Reilly, the Illinois-born rap star HAS NOT sold more than 13 million records stateside, so that now he’s the rapper with the most Top 40, Top 25 and Top 10 hits of all time, according to Billboard magazine. Shows why you shouldn’t listen to Bill O’Reilly.

Lil Wayne5. Lil Wayne – Having been featured on more artists’ records in the last two years than any other artist in the game, Lil Wayne’s been a lil busy. He ain’t so “lil”, though, when you consider that an MTV poll named him Hottest MC, GQ named him one of its Men of the Year, and Blender magazine named him Best Rock Star Alive.

Akon6. Akon – Raised in Senegal, Africa, R&B sensation Akon rose to fame in 2004 following the release of “Locked Up” from his debut album Trouble. His second album, Konvicted, earned a Grammy Award nomination for the single “Smack That,” but the #1 hit “Don’t Matter”

Taylor Swift7. Taylor Swift – How does one break into the country music scene? Apparently one way is to write a song named after another country music star. That’s what Taylor Swift did with the song ‘Tim McGraw.’ Not to be a one hit wonder, though, Swift has followed up her self-titled debut album with sophomore album, Fearless, that debuted at the number one spot on the Billboard 200.

Rihanna8. Rihanna – She brought her own unique musical stylings from her home country of Barbados, and she’s made good use of them here. With a string of hits and a body that would make just about anyone envious, she’s one hot item. As a side note: some idiot called her the “next Britney Spears.” We don’t think so.

Young Jeezy9. Young Jeezy – Like many of his contemporaries, Young Jeezy started out dealing drugs, and nowadays likes to carry guns around and get into feuds with other rap artists. But Jeezy’s a philanthropist as well, opening his home to victims of Katrina as just an example.

Ne-Yo10. Ne-Yo – This half-African-American, half-Chinese-American, in addition to writing songs for Rihanna, Beyonce, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Celine Dion, has also had a string of hits himself.

Top Ringtones:

1. “Heartless [Verse]” by Kanye West

2. “Birdwalk” by Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em

3. “Playa Cardz Right (feat. Tupac)” by Keyshia Cole

4. “One More Drink (feat. T-Pain)” by Ludacris

5. “Auld Lang Syne (Live)” by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin

6. “Addicted” by Saving Abel

7. “My Life – Chorus (feat. Lil Wayne)” by The Game

8. “Im So Paid (feat. Lil Wayne)” by Akon

9. “Swagga Like Us [Jay-Z Verse]” by Jay-Z and T.I.

10. “A Milli” by Lil Wayne
