Well, we're 41 days into the new year, and I can predict 3 songs will be on many year-end countdowns next year.

Rihanna - SOS The girl ain't no two-hit wonder! Sampling 'Tainted Love', this song will prove that Rihanna ain't no Nina Sky or Kevin Lyttle.

Pink - Stupid Girls Pink is back & better than ever! After her last CD 'Try This' disappointed in the US (I didn't care for it either), her first single off her 'I'm Not Dead' album shows the Pink we all know and love: looking for a little trouble and controversy. Not that she didn't try it w/ her last album, just that this song is actually good. And don't even get me started on the video. I smell comeback hit


Hoobastank - If I Were You This. Song. Will. Blow. Up. Hoobastank are looking to upgrade to two-hit wonder status w/ this song that sounds a lot like 'The Reason'. Hell, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Comparisons aside, I am totally diggin' this song.

At this point in the year, these are the three sure-fire smashes. Which is your favorite let me know.

Pink-stupid Girls!!!

Out of those, Rihanna. Tainted Love is a good song.

But I can certainly think of many others.

If I Were you sounds TOO much like the reason

Sos

Don't forget Nelly Furtado-Maneater, everyone seems to be liking that song.

SOS is the JAM!!!

Rihanna.

It screams club banger.

"s.o.s".

Surprisingly, Rihanna.

Couldn't stand her first two singles, while I love "S.O.S." Hoobastank's song is pretty good too, and Pink's, well, I'm getting sick of her song already.

Hmm...none of these. I haven't seen P!nk's debut YET, she needs to get up on it!

pink

SOS - the other two suck.

pink or rihanna

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling "S.O.S." With Jay-Z backing her up, I really think it's gonna be her biggest to date.

And Hoobastank a one-hit wonder? I'm sorry..maybe one pop hit, but they're huge on the rock scene. "If I Were You" definitely gets a thumbs up.

Rihanna's song will blow up but that Hoobastank song sucks, it's way 2 poppy...

haven't heard it yet. sadly .

Loved to include but... I haven't heard it yet so I can't say.

Oh, forgot to pick which one. While right now I'd say Pink, in the long run I'll probably say Hoobastank.

p.s.: I know this is sad but....HAVE U GUYS CHECKED MY SITE OUT YET?! HUH?! HUH?! DID YA?!

sorry, bout that folks.

Scott Stapp, Popozao, and Orignal Doll. >: p

"S.O.S.". The song is excellent lyrically and vocally. Also, the production, as another poster said, screams "club banger". Billboard also gave it one of the most optimistic reviews in a while. They ended off with a great statement, "A future star is brewing".

I doubted Jay-Z at first since Rihanna's Music Of The Sun and Teairra Mari's debut went nowhere. But now that Ne-yo has released a monster-hit and Rihanna is doing the same, Jay-Z is fitting well into his new position as the new head of Def Jam.
