Artists of the Year - LMFAO

This is the first in a series of entries where I will be listing my favorite artists of 2011. I hope you enjoy it!

LMFAO

Every year there is that one act that seems to come out of no where and seems to instantly become part of the pop culture landscape. In 2011 that act was indisputably LMFAO with their wild and vibrant look, catchy beats and complete willingness to not take themselves too seriously. In fact, what sets them apart from everyone else is their care free and fabulously self-deprecating sense of humor.

Their breakthrough single, Party Rock Anthem, is the perfect way to introduce themselves to the mainstream. If any dance floor jam ever truly deserved to be called an "anthem" this is it. It instantly crossed over from the clubs and dominated all the of the sales charts and radio play lists all year spending five weeks at #1 on the Billboard HOT 100. The video showed them strutting their dance moves and had everyone copying their choreography.

The follow up single, Sexy and I Know It, carried the fun and humor a step further to finish up the year stalled at #2 on the Billboard HOT 100 on the brink of repeating the #1 success of Party Rock Anthem. They illustrate how any average guy can feel sexy given some confidence and a hot dance beat!

UPDATE!!!!!!

Sexy and I Know It spent a total of 7 weeks at #2 on the Billboard HOT 100, but it started 2012 moving up to #1!!!!
