While they may be called The All-American Rejects, they’ve been accepted by most of America.

Their first self-titled album is certified platinum, driven by the single, “Swing, Swing” which was heard all over the radio and in film in 2002.

The Rejects doubled their success in ’05 with their second album, Move Along, which went double platinum. Songs like “Dirty Little Secret”, “Move Along”, and “It Ends Tonight” were featured in everything from video games to reality shows to sports games.

Tyson Ritter and the boys were pop culture staples.

Three years later, their third studio album, and one of the most anticipated of the year, When the World Comes Down, was released. “Gives You Hell” was the first single released, and the most successful AAR song to date, peaking in the Billboard Top 10. “Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down)”, “Breakin’”, and “Another Heart Calls” are also featured on the album.

Burlesque? Check. Performance Art? Got it. 70s glam? Yup. 80s rock? Right here. Throw it all together, mix in some Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera inspired vocals in a New York’s Lower East Side blender, and what will you pour out? Lady GaGa, the dance pop diva who spent her teenage years playing Open Mics at the famous NYC bar, The Bitter End, performing in leather thongs with drag queens and go-go dancers, and writing hits for acts like acts like The Pussycat Dolls, Fergie, and New Kids on the Block.

It wasn’t long before the so paid producer/artist Akon discovered her singing chops and Lady GaGa moved from writing songs for others to working on her own David Bowie inspired retro dance hits like “Boys, Boys, Boys.”

Her debut album, The Fame, went to #1 on the Top Electronic Albums chart, driven by the single “Just Dance” (featuring Colby O’Donis and Akon). It’s 400,000 plus downloads in one week was the second largest sum of downloads in one week ever. Flycell has all of the tracks from The Fame, including “Beautiful Dirty Rich”, “Poker Face”, and “Money Honey.”

Top Artists:

1. Asher Roth – A white emcee with an interest in politics and a sense of humor? Must be Eminem right? Nope. It’s Asher Roth. While often compared, the two have little in common other than skin tone and a love rap/hip hop. Growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs, Roth was more influenced by the Temptations than 2pac. It wasn’t until high school when he heard Jay Z that Asher realized his love of rap. He and his friends soon started battling each other and releasing tracks for fun. After selling 250 copies in 2 days, Roth started to realize he had a possibility to make his hip hop dream a reality. In college, Asher started to post his rhymes online and soon ended up in Atlanta to pursue hip hop full time. His “A Milli” freestyle earned him exposure and he signed with Universal Records. His debut album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle, featured the hit singles “I Love College” and “Lark on My Go-Kart”, as well as appearances by Lil’ Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Keri Hilson, Chester French, Jazze Pha, and Beanie Sigel.

2. Eminem – Some folks are demanding that Marshall Mathers give his “ghetto pass” back, after he parodied Michael Jackson. But c’mon – Eminem very well might be the most prolific and successful atirist we have living today. If you’re famous, just accept the fact that Eminem is going to make fun of you. That, or stop being famous.

3. 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.

4. 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”.

5. 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.

6. Keri Hilson – Keri Hilson’s first single dropped in ’08, but she’d already been making hits for years. Oh you didn’t know? She’s been writing hits for artists like Ludacris for years, as well as appearing in videos for Ne-Yo and Nelly. Though she had made a name for herself as an arranger and background vocalist, in 2008, Hilson decided to stop creating great songs for others and start doing her own. Her popular singles included “Return the Favor” (with Timbaland), as well as “Energy” and “Turnin’ Me On” (with Lil’ Wayne), both of which charted on Billboard Top 100.

7. Yung LA

8. 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.

9. Rick Ross

10. The-Dream – Called The Dream because he was his uncle’s hope and dream for the future, The Dream has made his family proud and more. Getting his start writing songs for B2K, Dream’s career took off with the success of Rihanna’s “Umbrella.” From there Dream started writing for Mariah Carey (“Touch My Body”), Jesse McCartney (“Leavin’”), and J. Holiday (“Bed”), among others. He also signed to Def Jam Records and started work on his debut album, Love Hate. The album was certified gold and peaked at #5 on Billbord’s Top R&B/Hip Hop albums charts. Singles included “Shawty is a 10” (featuring Fabolous), “Falsetto”, and “I Luv Your Girl.” The Dream continued using his award winning formula on his second album, Love vs Money, which featured collaborations with Lil’ Jon on “Let Me See” and Mariah Carey on “My Love.”

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Keri Hilson – Keri Hilson’s first single dropped in ’08, but she’d already been making hits for years. Oh you didn’t know?

4. 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.

3. Jay-Z – Grow up with prominent rap artists like Biggie Smalls and Busta Rhymes + master the art of composing lyrics spontaneously + announce that you’re retiring, then release a new album to record-setting sales = PROFIT. And what to do with that profit? Why, buy an NBA team and marry Beyonce. He’s got 99 Problems, but a bitch ain’t one…

4. Rihanna – She brought her own unique musical stylings from her home country of Barbados, and she’s made good use of them here.

6. 50 Cent – This guy’s life was set up to be a violent, dismal failure from the minute he popped out of his 15-year-old drug-dealing mother. But it wasn’t. Sure, he’s been in and out of jail. Sure, he got shot nine times. But despite all the controversy surrounding him, 50 Cent is one the most successful artists in Hip Hop.

7. 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.

9. Kevin Rudolf & Lil Wayne – At first glance, Kevin Rudolf’s enigmatic anthem “Let It Rock (featuring Lil Wayne)” seems to have air–dropped over radio out of nowhere, becoming a genre–defying game–changer that has put the alluring artist smack in the cross–hairs.

10. 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.
