1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 ...
4. Hedley
Hedley
There's no denying that Hedley's new album, Famous Last Words, due October 30 on Universal Music, shows an edge, a purpose, a defined personality that only comes from experience and development. So while they continue their legendary goofball rock 'n roll antics, their music is evolving and maturing to a whole new level. Famous Last Words is filled with sweet turns and surprises.

5. 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. Read more ...
6. Pussycat Dolls
Pussycat Dolls
"Inside every woman is a Pussycat Doll," says Robin Antin, the creator of the singing and dancing ensemble that has risen from underground cool to major label hot. "It's about female empowerment, about being confident with who you are. It's about singing and dancing in front of a mirror by yourself and having fun. Read more ...
7. Eminem
Eminem
The average rapper wouldn't be able to grace the pages of Rap Pages, VIBE, Rolling Stone, Spin, The Source, URB and Stress and go on a national tour months before their major-label debut album is released. Then again, Eminem isn't an average rapper. He's phenomenal. The release of The Slim Shady LP, Eminem's first on Aftermath/Interscope Records had underground hip-hop heads fiending for Eminem. Read more ...
8. Massari
Massari
It isn't every day that Canadian independent urban artists achieve Top 20 radio and video success on their initial offerings. For Ottawa-based R&B singer Massari and record label Capital Prophet Records, this achievement is the result of many years of hard work and perseverance. The 24-year old Sagittarius, born in Beirut, Lebanon, moved to Montreal at the age of 10 and at 13 he moved to Ottawa where he currently resides. Read more ...
9. MGMT
MGMT
40 years after the Summer of Love (and 30 years after the Summer of Hate), MGMT is celebrating the grand re-opening of the third eye of the world with Oracular Spectacular, the duo's much-anticipated first full-length album, an enigmatic and prophetic collection of hallucinatory sounds and hook-riddled pop tones for the new millennium. Read more ...
10. 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 ...
