5.) Ke$ha: Thrown into the lime light with the help of Flo Rida January of 2009, has had a few top singles in the US starting with “Tik-Tok.” Currently on the top 100 is “We R Who We R” from the album Cannibal that was released last month. Now having her own tour, hopefully she will be in your area soon!
4.) Lady Antebellum: The country music group formed in Nashville became popular with their song “Need You Now” back in mid-2009. It was on the charts for 47 weeks and peaked at number two!
3.) Eminem: Been in the Spot light for over 10 years and this year seemed to be filled with intense song hitting close to home for some people. His new album Recovery released in June 2010, sold over 740,000 copies in the US on the first day. On iTunes, Recovery was the best selling album of 2010.
2.) Taylor Swift:’s Third album Speak Now was released October 25, 2010. It had the most online album sales at Amazon.com for 2010. It reached over 1.047 million sales in the first week. All of the songs on the album were charted on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Mine” having the highest peak of all of number Three.
1.) Lady Gaga!: What can I say about Lady Gaga that the world doesn’t know? This woman has had numerous songs on the Billboard Top 100 for over two years straight! She is releasing her new album Born this way in February of 2011. It is obvious her “little monsters” are excited. I think most of the world is excited! Lady Gaga’s real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. As Stef and her music producer, Rob Fusari, tried to create a stage name for her the thought of using something from the song “Radio Ga Ga.” He was texting Stef “Raid ga ga” and it auto corrected it to “Lady Gaga” and thus, Lady Gaga was born.
And there you go! Top 5 artists of 2010! Go to Billboard.com to see the rest!
Next week I'm going to post 5 top songs from the 70's. And possibly videos if there are any for those songs. (: Keep tuned!
