#40-#36
40.Lily Allen-LDN
She's feisty and opinionated.She likes to blast other artists that she don't like with her incredulous remarks.But her attitudes aside,this talented missy has been praised by critics for being different
from her other peers.Her direction of musicOh..did you know that she's voted as the 3rd coolest person of the year in the NME(New Musical Express),a UK Music Magazine?That's why she deserved to be in this list.
I like this song a lot.I has an element of ska and reggae to it.The lyrics,of course,are witty and funny,narrating about the good and bad side of London.
39.Cassie-Long Way 2 Go
One of the breakthrough artist of 2006 alongside Chris Brown,Cassie Ventura was first introduced to music producer Ryan Leslie and he signed her to NextSelection label and of course,to Diddy's record label,Bad
Boy Record.Her debut single,Me & U is a worldwide hit but i personally like this song more as the beat is wickedly infectious.Moreover,Cassie is rapping.Gosh,female rap is so hot.Sadly,this song doesn't do as well
as Me & U but was a hit outside US charts.
38.Danity Kane-ShowStopper
Another artist signed on to Bad Boy Record but only this time,it's a girl group formed from the series,Making The Band.Consisting of Aundrea,Aubrey,Shannon,Dawn and D.Woods,these girls are gona show-stopping around the world and Ride For You.This song is the 3rd highest debut of 2006 behind Taylor Hicks and Beyonce.The song peaked at #8 on the US Billboard Hot 100.Definitely a great breakout track to groove to.
37.Beyonce-Check On It
A collaboration with Slim Thug,this song proves to be a huge success.It was featured in the 2006 feature film,The Pink Panther.Initially not intended to be a single,it was played on radio stations instead of Stand Up For Love,which is became a commercial failure.Reaching #1 in almost all countries,it became Beyonce's 3rd Number-One as a solo artist and certified four times platinum by the RIAA.
36.The Veronicas-When It All Falls Apart
Hailed from the Down Under(that's what they called Australia,right?),these Aussie twins is the 2006 Breakthrough Artist of Australia.They wrote all their songs and and WIAFA is their most successful single by far followed by 4ever.When It All Falls Apart" charted within the ARIA Top 20 for 14 weeks.This song is a hit especially in South East Asia.Congrats to them for making into this list.Hope to hear more of them soon.
