3. Christina, Keep Getting’ Better
Emblematic of this single and her greatest hits album’s title, Keeps Getting’ Better does just that. It is an utter blast to listen to Christina Aguilera have her way with the title track from her latest CD. From its initial techno commencing beats to its dramatic vocally pure close, Keeps Getting’ Better proves with her baby in tow, nobody can touch Christina Aguilera in her element.
2. Timbaland, The Way I Are
Timbaland exploded with The Way I Are and Keri Wilson became synonymous with a hit song. His album had been out for weeks and Justin Timberlake tracks and others had managed to get people interested in Timbaland’s first foray into a solo release. When The Way I Are hit airwaves, the super-producer behind pop music’s best had himself a career-defining smash.
1. Rihanna, Please Don’t Stop the Music
There’s catchy music and then there is Rihanna. From Umbrella, to S.O.S. to Disturbia, there is no one female artist singing currently who has a more perfect hit record streak in tact as does the 19-year-old phenom from Barbados. No song was more stuck in your head, demanded to hear at the club, or played on iPods around the world in 2008 than Rihanna’s Don’t Stop the Music.
