Disco Lives On This Week’s Song of Summer Charts

Songofsummer-aug8

Skeptics of the disco revival are going to be severely disappointed when they set their eyes on this week's Song of Summer charts. Apparently you took my threat from last week very seriously, because your votes pushed Shakira to the number one spot. I didn't realize there were that many guys who didn't like it rough, because I personally wouldn't mind being abused like a coffee machine in an office right about now. Just sayin'.

Our attempt to infiltrate the Song of Summer charts with a giant dose of cock failed miserably, so now we're back to the ladies. Adios to Green Day, Pitbull and Sean Kingston. A big "Hola" to two legendary gay icons and a eurodance sensation.

Are you new to this? Well, don't worry because we're completely changing the rules. It became apparent that it was difficult for some of you to choose just one song, so we're letting each of you vote for up to three selections. The catch? Only five of your choices will make it to the following week.

Why are we doing this? Well, for starters–we really want to get rid of those damn Lady Gaga songs. Also, we really hate seeing certain songs get voted out, so this will allow us to enact a "save a song" rule for the sixth slot. The four remaining places will be inspired by your suggestions, and if you're confused… well, you'll figure it out as we go along.

Don't see your favorite tune on the charts? Leave a comment and recommend it for next week! We've been known to entertain your ideas every now and then, much in the way we've been known to entertain our tricks.

To see this week's charts and vote, follow the JUMP:

  1. Shakira – She Wolf (LW – 3): Word is that the former First Lady of Argentina declared this song's video to be "sexy but classy". This led me to wonder if our current First Lady secretly jams to this in her well-stocked closet. A-woooo!
  2. Whitney Houston – Million Dollar Bill (DEBUT): If the YouTube police took this down before this post goes up, you need to Google your ass off trying to listen to this song. The diva is officially back, and I believe this warrants a dramatically high debut. 
  3. David Guetta f/ Kelly Rowland – When Love Takes Over (LW – 2): Just because we let Mama Crack-Den steal the number two spot, we want to make it explicitly clear that we're still rooting for Team Kelly. 
  4. Madonna – Celebration (DEBUT): Madge would have debuted higher if this track didn't receive such a lukewarm reception when we posted it earlier. Not too shabby in our book, but is it the song of summer?
  5. Mariah Carey – Obsessed (LW – 6): Eminem's response gave Mimi a temporary boost. We feel a little like Regina George in telling the lambs to "stop trying to make 'Obsessed' happen." Next single, please?
  6. Lady Gaga – Paparazzi (LW – 4): OMG, did you hear the rumors about Gaga having both man and lady parts? They're ten times more interesting than this song, but we do think she really deserves a VMA or two for the video.
  7. Britney Spears – Radar (LW – 5): Our feelings about this song's presence on the charts are expressed by the video we chose to link to. Funny enough, it's almost better than the song's actual video. Also, well… just also.
  8. Taylor Swift – You Belong With Me (LW – 2): After she made such a strong debut, what happened to all the Taylor love? Y'all bitches have some serious commitment issues.
  9. Lady Gaga – LoveGame (LW – 7): This beat used to be sick. Now it's just making me sick. Can she please just make another album so I don't have to keep hearing this tired ol' shit?
  10. Cascada – Evacuate the Dancefloor (DEBUT): Based on what's previously done well on these charts, this has a pretty good chance of surprising us and jumping into the top five.

  1. wow, this new FREAKING policy is just AWESOME. voting for 3! i mean wow – very fair.
    hmm, but cutting 5? i’m not sure how this is gonna work. hopefully it would somehow.
    lol. all divas. all single females. funny, but not surprising 🙂

  2. Good for Cascada getting a third album out. Usually these eurodance artists just make one album and then go away forever.
    I agree Rudenko’s Everybody come onto the chart even if it gets cut out after one week.
    If you wanna add some dick onto the list how about Paul van Dyk’s new song, Home, with vocals by Johnny McDaid.

  3. Cobra Starship- Good girls go bad
    Disclaimer: It doesn’t have to be a song geared toward the GLBTQ community like Madonna or Lady Gaga

  4. sexy bitch david guetta ft. akon
    i look so good(without you) jessis james
    hot mess-ashley tisdale
    boysboysboys-ladygaga

  5. So, you switch the rules up, change the number of songs, arbitrarily decide upon nominations (despite claiming that you’d take nominations from the comments), and actively campaign against some songs over others. What part of this process is democratic?
    This is total bullshit. Fuck this chart, and fuck this blog.

  6. Kudos to Dick! This is supposed to be the Song of Summer chart. If Lady Gaga has been on it for so long, maybe she has the song of the summer. How is it fair that you are campaigning for certain songs while bashing others?
    And how is it fair to change the rules this close to the end of the competition?
    Are you just going to let a new addition that shoots to the #1 spot the last week of this competition be crowned the winner? You should take into consideration how long songs stayed on the chart and the total amount of votes the song received throughout the competition.
    Just saying…

  7. Jessica Jarrell: Armageddon
    Dizzie Rascal feat. Chrome: Holiday
    Nelly Furtado: Manos al aire (Robbie Rivera Mix)
