1. David Cross -- Arrested Development
   David Cross is not only the star of Fox's "Arrested Development" and HBO's "Mr. Show," but he's the funniest man on the Sub Pop indie record label. He's ... the only funny man on Sub Pop. He's up for a Grammy in the best comedy abum category for his debut, "Shut Up, You F -- Baby!" Cross also recently released "Let America Laugh," a feature-length documentary that follows him on tour..
2. Msn Music
   While Napster and Musicmatch provide 128Kbps WMA downloads, MSN Music ups the ante with 160Kbps for most of its catalog. Certain types of music, particularly classical and jazz, can be available for 256Kbps. In the brave new world of digital music, you get more bang for your buck with a higher bit rate, even though many users won't be able to tell the difference in sound quality. In comparison, iTunes offers 128Kbps AAC tracks, while RealPlayer Music Store offers an industry-leading 192Kbps AAC across the board.
3. The Temptations -- Songs
   The Temptations rarely wrote their own material, and in the late 1960s and early 1970s they became mouthpieces of sorts for Whitfield. With Barrett Strong, Whitfield penned message songs to reflect the complexity and confusion of the times, dressed up in arrangements heavily influenced by the rock-soul-psychedelic fusion of Sly & The Family Stone. This style ie evident on such hits as "Psychedelic Shack," "Runaway Child, Running Wild," and "Ball of Confusion."
4. Bebe -- Living
   Bebe designs are incredibly sexy, ultra chic and very affordable. Their jeans and dress pants are usually found between $100 and $150 (very affordable for such a well-known label), while their shirts and sweaters range in price from $30 to $80 (... very affordable). Their dresses tend to cost a little more and can range as high as a couple hundred dollars but they are super stylish and still very affordable.
5. Universal -- Universal Music
   With 47 offices in 41 countries worldwide, Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) is part of the Universal Music Group. Owning or administering more than 1 million copyrights, UMPG's writers and catalogs include: U2, Elton John, 50 Cent, Dave Grohl, Prince, Diana Krall, Ludacris, Godsmack, Ice Cube, Vanessa Carlton, Mary J.

6. Rihanna -- Awards
   Rihanna attended the 9th Annual NRJ Awards in Cannes, France on Saturday, January 26. The Bajan songbird hit the red carpet, sporting a long grey dress and a much shorter hairdo, which enhances her natural beauty. Rihanna picked a trophy for International Song of the Year for "Don't Stop The Music."
7. Pharrell Williams -- Billionaire Boys Club
   Pharrell Williams claimed that his goal with the Billionaire Boys Club, his apparel collection co-licensed with Reebok, was to “put together something for the consumer who is always well dressed but never loses his individual spirit. Billionaire Boys Club,” he continued, “is a collection of sexy, grown-up apparel for a truly unique lifestyle and state of mind.” He has ... described himself as “the Willy Wonka of music” and explains, “I look at my life like it’s still school. Band is just one class.” Flexing easily between the roles of hip-hop and pop music producer, writer, performer, and fashion clothing, sneaker, and eyewear designer, Pharrell’s lifestyle demands a wardrobe that flows and shifts with him.
8. Primus -- Albums
   In 1995 Primus released their fifth album, Tales from the Punchbowl. It was very well received and contained Primus's most successful single to date, the Grammy-nominated "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver". The ubiquitous song was accompanied by an equally ubiquitous video with the band members dressed up in cartoonish plastic cowboy costumes (similar to the suits worn in the then current Duracell battery commercials). So great was their popularity that the band was invited to perform on David Letterman and Conan O'Brien's shows. Two other less successful singles, "Mrs. Blaileen" and "Southbound Pachyderm" (the latter of which featured a claymation video that received only minimal airplay on MTV) were ... released.
9. Barry White -- Staying Power
   White did not respect a good many of the young artists making music in the 1990s because they couldn't craft songs. But he did see a difference between his generation and the new generation of young stars--when he was a kid they burned Watts during the riots, but 1990s ghetto kids invented rap music. White realized that there were still kids killing each other, but there were ... young people letting their anger out in song, taking power, and creating a place for themselves in the record industry. That was why White needed to learn what was new, because he knew change was inevitable. This resulted in his soulful slow raps being laid over a hip-hop beat.
10. Kylie Minogue -- Brit Awards
    Striking a responsive chord with television viewers, Kylie Minogue won a Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress in 1987. The Logies are Australia's two-tiered annual TV awards based on either audience votes or selection by one's peers.
