Akon

Aliaune Thiam, or the artist we know as Akon, logs his 15th THO hit this week with "Right Now (Na Na Na)." Often Akon collaborates with others on hit songs, such as "Smack That" with Eminem or "Just Dance" with Lady GaGa and Colby O'Donis. But "Right Now" is a solo hit, just as his first THO hit was: 2005's "Lonely." He has several impressive achievements, including being the first artist to hold both the #1 and #2 slots on the Billboard Hot 100 TWICE! Akon was also nominated for a Grammy Award, although he lost to Justin Timberlake. We created another poll, for you to choose your favorite Akon tune.

2008 Grammy Awards

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Grammy Awards, which will be televised on February 10th. Kanye West leads all artists with eight nominations. Let's hope he keeps his cool this year if he doesn't win. With six nominations is troubled sensation Amy Winehouse. We know that sometimes the "best" artists don't seem to win the awards, so as usual we've created a few polls for you to vote for your favorites. Just look for the Grammy Polls at the top of our polls page, and while you are there also check out the winners from previous Grammy Awards.
