Cee Lo Green - In August 2010, Cee Lo matched the viral success of “Crazy” with his solo single “Forget You!,” an angry address to a materialistic ex-girlfriend. The song was a hit immediately after its release online, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 despite its vulgar lyrics. The single’s success propelled Cee Lo’s third solo album, The Lady Killer, to impressive sales (337,700 in the U.S., certified platinum in the U.K.) and put Cee Lo back into the national spotlight.(Photo: Melissa Jean Miller/BET)
