The list was determined by a poll of well-known music artists and industry experts. With Jim Shearer serving as host, the program is to have a two-hour premiere Sept. 6.

In 1998, VH1 launched the same list as the channel’s first countdown special; however; much has changed since the dawn of the new millennium. VH1 puts this debate up for a vote again to see which rock pioneers still matter and which new acts rate in the age of download-to-own music and ever-changing pop culture.
The countdown will include special, rarely-seen performance footage along with brand new, totally original interviews with music’s most famous faces.

As the sun set over the clear-blue Mediterranean Sea on July 31st, singer Alicia Keys and her fiancé, music producer Swizz Beatz, exchanged vows in front of family and close friends, including Queen Latifah, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Louboutin and Bono.

The private event was held at a seafront estate on the southern coast of the French island of Corsica, where the mind-body sage Deepak Chopra, the couple’s pal, officiated the intimate service. Swizz’s eldest son, 9-year-old Prince Nasir Dean — served as best man to his dad.

“The whole ceremony was magical, like something out of a dream,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style.

The beaming bride wore a custom-made, Grecian inspired one-shouldered silk Vera Wang gown with crystal detailing, a dazzling diamond necklace headband, custom made by Jacob the Jeweler, and jewel-encrusted Christian Louboutin sandals accented her feet. Swizz, whose given name is Kasseem Dean, sported a white Tom Ford tuxedo with a black bow tie.

The pair, who are expecting a child in early November, were overcome with joy. “I love everything about her,” Swizz tells Life & Style about his new wife.
