Jennifer Aniston and Mary J. Blige recently joined the ongoing list of celebrities who launch their own personal fragrances. It seems you haven't really made it unless you make an attempt to market your scent in a bottle (or publish a book).

Celebrities have the power to create, or at least have someone else create, anything to promote their name and rake in more money. Clothing, shoes, bags, restaurants and perfumes are just a few ways celebrities brand themselves.

But who started the celebrity fragrance trend? It certainly wasn't Jennifer Lopez or Paris Hilton.

Michael Jackson has been snubbed in a new poll to find the best hits of the 1980s - his song "Thriller" was beaten to the top spot by Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'."

Thriller only managed to hit fourth spot in the top ten, compiled by the editors of AOL, behind Journey, Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget about Me)" and A-Ha's "Take On Me."

Journey's hit has gotten a second wind, thanks in part to being the "theme song" of the World Champion 2005 Chicago White Sox, as well as the music played in the "scandalous" last minutes in the finale of The Sopranos.

The top ten is as follows...
