Let's get the countdown started.

100. Adelitas Way (55 points)
Voted By: tdc2000, FreakyFlyBry, Shorty

Breakthrough album: Adelitas Way (2009)
Breakthrough single: "Invincible"
Biggest hit to date: "Sick" (#2 Mainstream 2011)

Hard rockers from Las Vegas that got their break in 2009 when their song "Invincible" was used as the WWE theme song on WGN America. Their debut album was released in 2009 and their biggest rock hits followed from their second album last year, including "Sick" and "The Collapse". They have been busy on tour with several major acts since their break, including Shinedown, GnR, Seether, Puddle of Mudd, and Staind. Certainly, they are one of the up and comers of their genre, though pop success has eluded them so far.

Another entry-- I'll try to do two a day

99. Birdy (57 points)
Voted By: hugom2c, matthew_dixon, king_oxymoron, Kirill, crazycrazy

Breakthrough album: Birdy (2011)
Breakthrough hit: "Skinny Love" (2011)
Biggest hit: "Skinny Love" (#17 UK)

Birdy is the stage name for English musician Jasmine von den Bogaerde, who was one of the biggest newcomers of last year in the UK. She won an Open Mic competition in 2008 at the age of 12. Last year, at 15, she released her first album and single "Skinny Love" which was a top 20 UK hit. Three more singles have followed, "People Help The People" going top 40.

Woo for Adelitas Way

Didn't expect them to make the top 100, but I really enjoyed "Last Stand" (my #1 of 2010) and "Alive" so good to see them there

by **matthew_dixon** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:31 am

Birdy is absolutely fantastic - she'd probably get even more votes from me now than she did when I voted - an absolutely fantastic singer.

by **jafetsigfinns** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:58 am

Ohh crap I forgot to vote, but still pleased to see Birdy there! (though she probs would've gotten higher had I voted!)

by **king_oxymoron** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:18 pm

Got a lot of love for Birdy, an incredible amount of potential and the most beautiful tone and talent at such a young age!

by **CrazyCrazy** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 1:26 pm

I struggled to make a top 35, I threw Birdy a few points (My #33) her version of Skinny Love is good although not great and I've not heard anything else from her ~ but she has a lot of potential.

by **Blondini** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 6:47 pm

Didn't make my list - was 41. The fact most of her songs are covers was a negative for me. Promising singer, though.

by **tdc2000** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:48 am

Two more entries today

98. The Joy Formidable (59 points)
Voted By: tdc2000, NothingFails, Blondini

Breakthrough album: The Big Roar (2011)
Breakthrough song: "My Beerdrunk Soul Is Sadder Than A Hundred Dead Christmas Trees" (2008)
Biggest Hit: "Whirring" (#7 US Alt 2011)

The Joy Formidable are a Welsh indie band formed in 2007 from the remnants of a Manchester band Tricky Nixon (which became Sidecar Kisses). Their first few singles were experiments in which they worked out their sound and released an EP in 2009 called "A Balloon Called Moaning". Their more wide break came just last year with the hit "Whirring", which did well on US rock radio and generated some buzz around the band. They also have a song "Endgames" on the new Twilight soundtrack, which may be an even bigger boost for their career.

by **tdc2000** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:54 am

This one may generate some conversation...

97. Shardinay (61 points)
Voted By: sbk, Star, fearlessswift13

Breakthrough: "Oh Boy" (2011)

Believe it or not, Shardinay does not have a Wiki page and little is posted about her on the WWW. She has been a running joke on the site the past few months, and had the "hit" video "Oh Boy" last year, a sort of R&B version of Rebecca Black. I don't know much more, so I leave it to her voters to explain why she is an "emerging" artist.

LOL guess why I voted for Adelitas Way?

But yeah, they're cool. "Invincible" is a kick ass song and I like "It's A New Day" as well, that was a WWE entrance theme too
