Usher is a 28 year old entertainer from Texas. He has released four studio albums, each more successful than the last. His fourth and most recent record, Confessions, sold over a million copies during its first week on sale in America, and has to date sold 9 million copies in that country alone; incredible, four of the five singles taken from the album topped the Hot 100, whilst two also reached the top in the UK. Usher also considers himself an actor and took the role of Billy Flynn in Chicago on Broadway in 2006, to mixed reviews. Usher's 5th album, which is as-yet-untitled, is rumoured for release later this year.

26th: Eminem: 38 Points.

Voted for by Blade 699, and Callum; highest position 2nd (Blade699 and Callum)

Eminem is arguably the world's most famous rapper. A close friend of Dre, 34 year old Marshall Mathers has experienced incredible success over all four of his studio albums; the first and last sold 5 million in the US alone whilst the other two both sold nine million. Amongst his most famous singles are 'The Real Slim Shady', 'Without Me' and 'Lose Yourself'. The latter was taken from the soundtrack to the film 8 Mile which stars Eminem and Brittany Murphy, amongst others. As well as rapping and acting, Eminem has a considerable reputation in the press for arguing - primarily with his mother, with whom he has endured a highly-publicised fued (which has in turn influenced much of his music), but also with his on-off ex-wife Kim. Eminem is currently recording his 5th studio album despite rumours that his 4th was going to be his last.

25th: Missy Elliott: 44 Points.

Voted for by Simon, Suus 73, Skizzo, and Callum; highest position 3rd (Callum)

Melissa Elliot, who originally took the stage name Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott before reverting simply to Missy Elliott, is a 36 year old rapper and record producer from Virginia. Having released an incredible 6 studio albums over an 8 year period since starting out in 1997, Elliot has built up a name for herself as possibly the most influential woman of Hip-Hop - producing for and featuring on songs with such varied acts and close personal friends as Timbaland, Tweet, Aaliyah, and Monica. Her biggest-selling album to date is 2002's Under Construction which featured the hit 'Gossip Folks', though her best single for me is the positively filthy 'Pass That Dutch', taken from 5th release This Is Not A Test! In 2006 Elliott released her first Greatest Hits package, titled Respect M.E., though constant press rumours of Missy being such a diva that she never wears an item of clothing more than once may make it hard for some to do so! Elliott's 7th studio album will be released this year, and she will no doubt be hoping to win back some of the sales that slowed during her last studio release.

go missy!

I have to say that's a really good pic of Missy ^_^ Is it really true that she throws away her clothes away wearing them once though? I hope not :(

24th: Kanye West: 45 Points.

Voted for by Rooney, Blade 699, and Howoriginal; highest position 2nd (Rooney)

Ever since dropping his debut album in 2004, Kanye West's music has been a runaway success. The College Dropout and Late Registration each sold 3 million in the US and spawned several huge hit singles, from the haunting 'Jesus Walks' to the outrageous 'Gold Digger'. It could well be Kanye's vivid musical imagination that has kept him on top, an example of which being his sampling of 'Diamonds Are Forever'. Third album Graduation is expected this year with lead single 'Stronger' space-age vid currently on music channels.

Well deserved positions for Usher, Missy & Kanye :thumbup:

 

Rihanna hopefully won't be No.1, she doesn't deserve to be!

 

I still think it'll be either Destiny's Child, Aaliyah, Mary J or Janet, even Mariah could do it :thumbup:

tlc need to be top 5 :coffee:

23rd: Alicia Keys: 48 Points.

Voted for by Joao Filipe, Off Da Endz, and Suus 73; highest position 3rd (Off Da Endz)

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f336/miamibrookie/alicia-keys-pop5.jpg

Undeniably one of the most beautiful women in the world, Alicia Keys has the kind of raw talent that is rare within the music industry; a piano-player with a voice sent from heaven, its no wonder that each of her three albums, including her MTV Unplugged recording, have topped the US Charts. With combined sales of 20 million worldwide, she could easily set back and never work again, but instead Alicia is currently in the studio working on her third studio release. Amongst her biggest singles are the epic piano ballad 'Fallin' and the sweet 'If I Aint Got You', in which Keys tells how love is a bigger priority for her than material things.
