What Kind of List Did These 3 Make?

Paris Hilton, Brooke Hogan and Kellie Pickler did make The Top 10 Used Up Trash list, they made AOL's Best New Artists of 2006. Yeah, AOL actually referred to them as ARTISTS. That just doesn't make sense. Since when does having a computer sing for you make you a music artist? The list is also filled with a bunch of WTFers? This list should be THE WORST MUSIC of 2006.
