My only problem with this list is Paris Hilton beat out Vanessa Hudgens. EW

very bad list

Army Of Anyone, Plain White T's, (+44), Eagles Of Death Metal, Rise Against, and Needtobreathe are missing from that list.

I would include those plus The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Fray, The Raconteurs, and Wolfmother as my top ten rookies of 2006. Hinder's Get Stoned started charting in August of 2005. I am not sure they qualify this year, although they did break bigger than any other rock band.

Ne Yo sucks.

pretty bad list, really

omg Yung Joc top 5

top 5 should be like this

05 cassie
04 hinder
03 gnarls barkley
02 ne - yo
01 the fray

That's a pretty bad list

I have been shocked at the success of Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
And if anything, The Fray or Panic! At The Disco (who are surprisingly absent from the list) should really be #1 - in terms of success anyway.

Lemme guess, the same fool who constructed this list is also responsible for the crappy top 40 countdown VH1 did?

'~" @ PAris Hilton, Cassie, and Brook Hogan.
@ Daughtry, the Fray, and a few others

I agree!

Well they have Ne-Yo at #1 so they got that one right!

i think its a good list. pretty much all who broke into the pop world are on it.

Here's who I agree with

25. Mario Vazquez (sorta agree)
24. Vanessa Hudgens (agree, should be WAY higher)
23. Paris Hilton (agree in a sense)
22. Lady Sovereign (disagree)
21. Daniel Powter (agree, should be higher)
20. Brooke Hogan (she really isn't new)
19. Wolfmother (agree)
18. Taylor Swift (who?)
17. Red Jump Apparatus (disagree)
16. Cherish (again, really not new)
15. Hinder (agree)
14. Kellie Pickler (who?)
13. Jibbs (DISAGREE! Anyone who does a song that takes a line from 'ears hang low', it sucks)
12. The Raconteurs (agree)
11. Cassie (agree, shouldn't be this high)
10. Lupe Fiasco (agree, shouldn't be this high)
09. KT Tunstall (agree, should be higher)
08. Danity Kane (agree in a sense)
07. Daughtry (never heard yet)
06. LeToya (agree, but way too high)
05. Yung Joc (DISAGREE! He sucks!)
04. Corinne Bailey Rae (Agree, but a little too high)
03. The Fray (agree)
02. Gnarls Barkley (agree)
01. Ne-Yo (sorta agree, but WAY WAY TOO HIGH!)

My problem is with Jibbs and Yung Joc. They will be gone by the end of next year.

They better not think that Rihanna was a new artist this year, rather than not adding her.

CASSIE?! I love her and all but she is not better than half those people. Go Paris though!

LMAO. Those artists are even that famous. The majority of them have never had an album that went platinum.

Thank god Ashley Fugdale didnt get on.
