Who do you think will have a breakthrough year (like Fall Out Boy, Pussycat Dolls, The Arcade Fire, etc had in 2005) in 2006? And why?

My Pick
< - - Look at avatar. Panic! At The Disco

Music
Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off
The Only Difference Between Martyrdom & Suicide Is Press Coverage
I Write Sins Not Tragedies
But It's Better If You Do

Why
- #1 on PureVolume every day since god knows when
- HUGE opening gig on the XBOX360 tour with The Academy Is
- Album, 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out', hit a new peak of #8 on iTunes this month
- Shot a video for 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' which FUSE is picking up
- Has an absolutely massive following
- Songs like 'Lying' and 'The Only Difference' were technically singles, and are already underground punk-pop cult favs.

I think 2006 is the year that we finally see Lacuna Coil overcome all of the Evanescence comparisons and hit it big.

I also think 2006 will be the biggest year yet for MCR. And, assuming Muse FINALLY releases something new this year, I think it'll be their biggest year yet as well.

I think the English version of Utada's Passion will be a huge worldwide hit!

I THINK BRITNEY DEBUTS NUMBER ONE AGAIN!! ^^...AND HER ALBUM SOLD MORE THAN 10 MILLON COPIES AROUND THE WORLD....I GUESS SO

Roger, who exactly is P!ATD? I might wanna check them out

My pick to break in 2006 is hopefully....Rachel Farris. She's supposed to release her new cd this year and I assure you, she'll do it.

Rachel will overcome all the troubles she has to deal with on not having a hit after releasing her debut album 3 years ago, and will pull through.

i hope P!ATD makes it big
I love their entire cd

I think Atreyu will break into Mainstream Rock this year and finally get recognized for how great they are.

I think Kaci Brown might finally break through, her album sold modestly and she had a minor hit with "Unbelievable" in 2005. But now shes releasing "Instigator" as a single, which I guarantee will be a big hit. The more Hip Hop vibe will click with things like TRL, and she may finally have a major breakthrough!

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! I'm actually listening to "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" right now. Also, most of their shows are ALREADY sold-out...very rare for a non-headliner. I've seen them live and can attest to their greatness. They also got a write-up in SPIN magazine a little while ago stating their TRL odds...

If any bands break-out this year...this is who I want to see make it big.

It would be great to have another big MCR year, but apparently they're going on a break before even recording a new album!

We'll probably hear new from them very late '06, if not early '07.



- - P!ATD is an amazing band that you can hear on PureVolume, www.purevolume.com, check 'em out Mike!

I hope Rachel Stevens has her big break in US. She did horrible this year in the uk.

Can you post Rachel Farris' official site?

Hmmm, I'm gonna check out P!ATD.

Ok xluvx

It's www.rachelsmusic.com I believe

Do any of you old-schoolers remember when I was hyping a band called Deadsy back in 2002? Well, I hope this time around they have mainstream success. They're not on Korn's Elementree label anymore--which has been under low-profile for a good 3 years--they've followed in the footsteps of Adema and have signed under Earache, which is primarily an extreme metal label. Phantasmagore, their 2nd album, was supposed to come out a few months ago, but now it's slated for a Spring 2006 release...tracks include "Better than You Know," "Asura," "Sands of Time," "Last Story Ever," "Book of Black Dreams," and "Do You Want It All?"

Lacuna Coil, Atreyu, and Glassjaw should break out this year as well.
TRL-wise, I think Panic! At the Disco, The Academy Is..., Eighteen Visions, and From First to Last will be popular (taking a shot in the dark with those last 2, but if Avenged Sevenfold could do it, so can they.)

Also look for Army of Anyone (Richard Patrick of Filter with ex-Stone Temple Pilots members.)

Kaci Brown, Launca Coil, and Rachel Farris should all make it big in '06.

I think Megan McCauley will break out big in '06. Her album is due out in February.

Panic! At The Disco rule

but Arctic Monkeys gonna BREAK!

I hope that even if one artist were to break out, it would be Nelly Furtado. She completely deserves success and recognition. And hopefully, she'll get it. If the leaked song "I Am" and her past two albums are any indication, only good things can come from "Loose"

Yes, I remember Deadsy very well. That addicting song I couldn't get out of my head. IMO, to the average music fan, it can either be entertaining or irritating, pending how they like it.

True.
But I think both can!

I'd like to hear what the new P!ATD listeners thought.

I'm feelin' Arctic Monkeys new joint "When The Sun Goes Down" <33

My Pick:
Lupe Fiasco
Ne-Yo
