INFOTAINMENT FOR THE PEOPLE OF EARTH SINCE 2006

2006 in Review: Music

As New Year's quickly approaches, The Daily Edition takes a look back at the year that was. 2006 was a big year for music. Groups like Nickelback, The Pussycat Dolls, Rascal Flatts owned the year and made tons of money as their singles were played over and over again.

2006 was also a year for comebacks. Some worked out, while others didn't. Nelly Furtado's last CD flopped, but thanks to a little help from Timbaland, her 2006 release "Loose" went to the top of the charts and spawned several hit singles, including "Promiscuous." Barry Manilow's been around forever, but was everywhere in 2006 thanks to his "Greatest Songs of the Fifties" and "Greatest Songs of the Sixties" albums. The Dixie Chicks also made a good comeback in 2006. Several of their concerts were cancelled in red states after the fallout from Natalie Maines comments on President Bush, but the Chicks still managed to score successful sales. Jay-Z, Shakira, Lionel Richie and Diddy also made successful returns to the music scene this year. Things did not go so well for Janet Jackson. Despite dropping a ton of weight and doing a healthy press tour, Jackson's album bombed in 2006. Fortunately, Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline's debut albums also had poor sales.
