VIBE Names Best 60 Songs of 2006

New York, NY (VIBE) - What were the best 60 songs of 2006? The VIBE Editors have made their list - and now, you can see, hear and comment on their choices exclusively on VIBE.com.

There's much more to come on VIBE.com in 2007. The VIBE 60 comes out this week - counting down by 12 songs each weekday - leading up to Friday, December 15, when VIBE's No 1 song of the year will be revealed.

Who made the list? Who got dissed? Is this Jay-Z's year? Or Beyonce's? T.I.'s? Or the Game's? Or maybe... it's the year of the Queen, Mary J. Blige. Time will tell - check VIBE.com to find out.

VIBE.com is fast-becoming the home of urban culture online, with up-to-the-minute news, popular daily blogs like Vibe Confidential, VIBETV (with video from stars like Jay-Z, Eminem and Lil' Scrappy) and the recently launched VIBE Music Search (detailed bio, discography and information on over 10,000 artists). This week, the site features an exclusive, three-part interview with rap superstar The Game.

VIBE.com also offers an unmatched array of urban star slideshows and party pictures - including stars like Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Mya, T.I., Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Omarion, Melyssa Ford, Eva Pigford, Shawna, Tyra Banks, Rihanna, Usher, Danity Kane, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Prince, Lil' Kim, Ciara, Cassie and many more. New galleries are posted every day - often several times a day!

VIBE.com has also started online "listening parties" for top artists. Last week, Lil' Scrappy's new video, "Gangsta Gangsta," debuted on VIBE.com, along with complete audio of new CD - before it hit stores (you can still see/hear it here).

VIBE.com will top 2 million unique visitors in December (source: Deep Metrix) - nearly a five-fold increase since June 2006! "We're just getting started," says VIBE Editor-in-Chief Danyel Smith, "There's much more to come on VIBE.com in 2007."
