6 SIZZLING ARTISTS...

THE BEAT LIST

Being sexy is definitely a plus in show business.

“Heck, it’s the only thing that matters,” says one music fan.

The point is we all love to watch a luscious artist strut her stuff onstage. The sexy factor completes the whole commercial package. This is evident in the success of recording stars like Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado and Robin Thicke. They’ve actually crossed over from alternative to a sexier pop and RnB.

Sometimes, being a li’l dirty works too. Just take a look at today’s top group Pussycat Dolls. They started out by dancing showgirl moves in performances. Now, they’ve just finished their own talent search, Search for the Next Pussycat Doll.

For some artists though, it doesn’t quite work. The worst flop would probably be Jewel’s pop album 0304. The Texas girl is way better as folk singer. Other fans say they don’t really like Hilary Duff’s new “mature” look in the latest album Dignity. They’d love it if she gains more weight.

But many pop stars have rocked the global charts with their sultry chart-toppers. Who wouldn’t forget songs like “I’m A Slave For You” and “Toxic” by Britney Spears, “Livin’La Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin and “Stars Are Blind” by Paris Hilton? Yes, they’re not the best singers in the world. But admit it. They’re very entertaining.

1. "Que Hiciste” by Jennifer Lopez
J. Lo is on top of our sexy list. With the release of her first Spanish album Como Ama una Mujer (How A Woman Loves), the Latin sensation proved to be a pacesetter in fashion and dance music. Men just salivate over her new video “Que Hiciste” (What Have You Done) shot in the Las Vegas desert.

2. “Big Girls Don’t Cry” by Fergie
Fergie is another Hollywood item with lovely lady lumps. This Black Eyed Pea was recently voted top 10 in Maxim’s Hot 100 Women. If that’s not enough, she’s been dating one of today’s sexiest actors, Josh Duhamel (Transformers and Las Vegas).

"I have had lesbian experiences in the past. I won't say how many men I've had sex with—but I am a very sexual person,” she says in an interview with Mirror.co.uk.

3. “I’m A Flirt” by R. Kelly
Amid all the lawsuits and sexual allegations, there’s no stopping the RnB singer. R.Kelly, famous for his carnal-themed songs, recently released his eighth solo album Double Up. His latest video "I'm a Flirt (Remix)", which features rappers T.I. and T-Pain, shows a lot of steaming dancers and models. This is a current favorite among hip-hop fans.

4. “Girlfriend” by Avril Lavigne
This song is too bubble gum pop. But a lot of viewers like the Canadian star’s new fashion in the video. It shows Lavigne dancing and seducing a college guy. Not bad for the sexy vegan.

5. “Summer Love” by Justin Timberlake
He’s still bringing the sexy back. Although this song’s not as catchy as “What Goes Around Comes Around” and “Sexy Back,” JT still has the groove. The Prince of Pop and Cosmpolitan’s “Sexiest Man Alive” has recently opened his own label Tennman Records.

6. “Do You Know?” (The Ping Pong Song) by Enrique Iglesias
Of course, this song has the Enrique Iglesias trademark. It’s a very emotional song where a man begs for a woman’s love. The video obviously shows another romantic side of the sexy Latino. Iglesias is every woman’s man: gorgeous and sensitive.

Who's gettin' horny? haha
