Weekly Top Ten: Gaga Gets Knocked Back

Our quest for the 2010 Song of Summer continues, and it seems that Kylie Minogue might have this contest in the bag. A good portion of her thirteen weeks on our Weekly Top Ten countdown have been spent perched above her competitors. But could another song steal the title at the last minute?

Well, it won’t be Christina Aguilera, Usher, Shontelle or Ke$ha. These four singers failed to receive enough votes to stay on the countdown, so they were sent packing along with Wild Card rejects Graffiti6, Diana Vickers and Katy B.

So how does this all work? If you’re a Weekly Top Ten virgin, gaze into Bo Berta‘s beautiful eyes while I explain the rules to you. Each week you’ll be presented with ten songs. You get to vote for up to three that you’d like to see move on to the next week. From those results, we’ll take the five tunes with the highest percentages, a song we save and four other contributions. These selections will make up the following week’s charts.

Wishing there was a “none of the above” option? Well, quit your bitching and tell us what you want to see on the charts by leaving a suggestion in the comments. We listen to nearly every song you recommend, and if we think it’ll have a chance… you might see it here next time around!

To check out the charts and vote, follow the JUMP:

1. Kylie Minogue – All The Lovers (LW – 2, 13): The Australian dance diva has reclaimed her thrown atop the charts, and she’s another step closer to taking the official 2010 Song of Summer title. With seven weeks left before this song’s retired from the countdown, we can’t wait to see where this goes.
2. Lady Gaga – Alejandro (LW – 1, W11): Listen up, all you little monsters! You were only thirteen votes away from maintaining your queen’s number one spot, and you’ve failed miserably in accomplishing this mission. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
3. Adam Lambert – If I Had You (LW – 3, W9): This is definitely a record for Adam. You’ve kicked most of his other songs to the curb, but this one has stuck around on the charts for nine weeks in a row! It warms my heart to see you supporting a fellow lover of the cock.
4. Katy Perry – Teenage Dream (LW – 4, W3): In case you didn’t notice, we’ve updated Katy’s link to include the official music video for “Teenage Dream”. Now you can see her fake love interest Josh Kloss in action! Isn’t it a shame that he got voted off The Ten?
5. Robyn – Hang With Me (LW – 6, W3): Victory is ours! We’ve been pushing hard to make Robyn one of this summer’s frontrunners, but she keeps slipping off the charts. Let’s not repeat history this time around. A vote for “Hang With Me” is a vote for the most underrated pop artist on this countdown.
6. Freemasons f/ Wynter Gordon – Believer (LW – 7, W2): Did you honestly believe that I’d save Ke$ha? We’ve laid out the rules in the past. If you don’t vote her into the top five, we’re not saving her. Give the Freemasons and Wynter Gordon another chance! We promise they’re a lot better than “Take It Off”.
7. Taylor Swift – Mine (DEBUT): It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who thinks this sounds like a mash-up of every single song in Taylor Swift’s repertoire. However, that hasn’t stopped it from debuting at number three on the Billboard charts…
8. David Archuleta – Something ‘Bout Love (DEBUT): Most of you dismissed this song as a “teeny bopper” anthem. Some of you implied I was a pedophile for turning the nineteen year-old Archuleta into a “piece of meat”. And a good majority of you didn’t approve when I said I’d pound his twinky boy pussy. Pssh, whatever!
9. Janelle Monae – Cold War (WILD CARD): Apologies to all the Graffiti6 or Diana Vickers fans! Neither of your selections stood a chance next to Ms. Monae’s creative blend of pop, rock and R&B. She took over fifty-percent of the votes in the Wild Card round, so it’s safe to say she deserved this spot on the countdown.
10. Cazwell – Ice Cream Truck (DEBUT): Look, I’m not going to pretend that this song is decent in any way, shape or form. But people are still talking about the music video. Can this homo-hopper utilize sex appeal to make up for his utter lack of talent?
