Billboard.com has named Akon Top Pop Artist of the Year. Granted, Konvicted spent its first 30 weeks camped in the top 30 of the Billboard 200, but Akon won the title for his other strengths. The award was judged on the following five criteria:
- Artist’s ability to toss a teenage fan off the stage with his shirt off
- Ability to succumb to Nate Dogg on your own sh*t
- Ability to write the same chorus over and over without missing a note
- Ability to write a sarcastic apology without offending anyone
- Ability to sound like a dying chipmunk
