International Album of the Year

Call him a rapper with a rap sheet, a hitmaker who has been the target of hits. New Yorker 50 Cent has survived a troubled past to become one of his genre's biggest stars. His big career break came when Eminem recognized his talent. 50 Cent's cut "Wanksta" was a highlight of the 8 Mile soundtrack, and the Eminem and Dr. Dre-produced Get Rich Or Die Tryin' has scored big-time.

Pop diva Christina Aguilera has certainly come a long way since releasing her smash self-titled debut in 1999 at age 17. The sweet pop of hits like "Genie In A Bottle" and “What A Girl Wants" has been replaced by a more raunchy sound and image, as exemplified by the smash single, "Dirrty." Stripped is the sound of a young woman now calling the shots. "Once I knew where I wanted to go, I didn't let anyone get in my way," Christina says. Her creative drive is complemented by a powerful yet versatile vocal style.

Hilary Duff has become a one-woman entertainment phenomenon. The star of hit TV series Lizzie McGuire, Hilary has crossed over into films and now pop music, all with serious success. Her single "I Can't Wait" appeared on the platinum-plated Lizzie McGuire soundtrack album, and her solo debut, Metamorphosis, is another chart-topper. You can't stop this girl.

With Fallen and singles like "Bring Me To Life" and "Going Under" topping the North American charts, Evanescence have rapidly joined the rock elite. Their heavy yet heavenly sound marries the haunting and pure vocals of Amy Lee with a skull-crunching hard rock assault. The combination has proved irresistible. The group also recently scored five Grammy Award nominations.

For nearly twenty-five years, Rod has been there...The voice. The hair. The savior faire. And, like that album title from so long ago, there's "Never a dull moment." From his early Scottish roots, transplanted to Swinging London's rough and tumble underground, to a career that gives fresh new meaning to Blue-Eyed Soul: through a history-making catolog of classic songs, to a place in the pantheon of genuine musical legends: Rod Stewart has survived and thrived.
