What's up with Anthony Hamilton being one of VH1's You Oughta Know "artists on the rise"? They do know that his last album went platinum and was on the Billboard chart for a gazillion weeks, right? At what point is someone an established artist these days?

1) Target audience-- Anthony Hamilton is clearly established at this point, but not necessarily established with the aging white music consumer who gets artist recommendations from VH1, a channel that only plays videos approximately 10 hours a week.
or
2) Sony BMG paid VH1 a shload of money to feature him.
