#10 Sean Kingston
Key Track: "Beautiful Girls"
Key Album: Sean Kingston
Billboard Top 200: N/A (album in stores July 31, 2007)
Current Popularity: 7
Future Popularity: 5
Sean Kingston, a Jamaican native, has found a great deal of success with his first hit single, "Beautiful Girls," which samples the music from Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" (1961). Like the Shop Boyz, Sean Kingston combines different genres of music together to form a unique sound. Combining reggae, rap, pop and doo-wop he's accomplished the rare task of creating his own niche in R&B - and he's only seventeen! Then again, in the fickle field of R&B, Kingston could be pigeonholed as a "fad-artist" like Wayne Wonder (remember him?).
