Every year, a new artist comes out and out of the blue him/her becomes a huge success. This year Ciara may not have the top selling album but her debut single "Goodies," is one of the most played songs on radio in 2004. Her new single "1, 2 Step," is so bad that it's good. Radio is planning to drive you insane with this hot mess produced by Missy. The problem here is that Ciara can actually sing and has a handful of more than worthy singles on her album including, "Pick Up The Phone," "Next To You," "And I," and the throwback, "The Title."

Avril Lavigne's "Nobody's Home," shows growth from the young punker. The video in which the singer plays a homeless teen should open eyes to many parents struggling these days. Hoobastank also returns with the single, "Disappear." While the song is not as capturing as "The Reason," it deserves a spin.

What doesn't deserve a spin this week? Omarian should hang his career up along with Marques Houston. His debut solo-single "Never Let You Go," featuring Big Boi is headed for big trouble. Then again, when ever does the young teenage girls actually listen to the songs. Lift your shirt, smile at the camera and hit a gospel run (off-key of course) and you'll have yourself a hit.
