As good as your music may be, one of the most important aspects of "making it" in the music business is simply getting your name out there, and making sure people remember it.

6 Hip-Hop Performers Whose Second Album Is Best: Beastie Boys, Ice Cube, A Tribe Called Quest and More
Rumors are swirling around the GOP that Mitt Romney might seek the Presidency once again during the 2016 election, granted he can secure the Republican nomination. It's rare to see failed candidates attempt to run again-we haven't had a second-run candidate win since Richard Nixon in 1968-but that doesn't mean he can't do better this time around.

However we've already done all the research so we're running with it), who released their best album during their second try.
