		<description>Well. As much as I would like to throw myself in the list you mentioned above you already made the rule i couldn't so instead i'm going to answer the 2nd question. "What does it take for these artists to rise above the rest?" Being an Accountant major that does music i actually have an all around understanding of what it takes when it comes to the music business. Because i do both i understand the key factors that make a hit artist that will have longevity in the industry. First the artist has to be unique in a few ways(vocals,lyrics,life story,etc).If they continue doing that it makes listeners want to take a look at them more instead of everybody else. Second they have to be able to make a succesful or a hit song. Their whole cd could be banging with a capital B but if they don't choose a good or unique commericial or radio song people will have second thoughts on checking out the rest of their music. Third they have to be marketable. They either have to have the "swag", the good looks,a great dancer, or have a unique look. Thats why their are quite a few one hit wonders in the industry that you haven't heard from since that one song or that one cd that you liked. They had the ability to make a hit song or record but they didn't market themselves well. I hope this answers at least one of your questions. ~D-Smooth-- Knows the answers to the music enigma, but still waiting to be drafted in the league~</description>
