Could it be that one of our Wild Card selections is finally making an impact on our Weekly Top Ten charts? Though we originally assumed Jay Sean would be the first to make it into the top five, we were pleasantly described to find that Florence + The Machine rocketed to the number four spot last week. With one night left to vote, she now sits in third place. Can she keep it up?
More importantly, can any of these newbies come in and steal her glory? This week's round includes new music by Leona Lewis, Weezer, Medina and Dragonette. Two of these selections will make it to the top ten, so be sure to choose wisely. You only have one night to vote, so hop to it!

To listen and pick your favorite song, follow the JUMP:
———————————————————————————
Leona Lewis – Happy: Production-wise, this is just another recycled Ryan Tedder beat in the vein of "Halo" and "Already Gone". Even with that handicap, Leona Lewis manages to take this song beyond mediocrity, turning out a powerful and electrifying vocal performance.
———————————————————————————
Weezer – (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To: Weezer's latest single may not be their best, but it's way better than that awful Lil Wayne collaboration. Of course, chances are you probably love that awful Lil Wayne collaboration. Sorry.
———————————————————————————
Medina – You & I: This chick is already a huge deal in Denmark, and we hear she's starting to make an impact in the UK. "You and I" is the English version of her song "Kun For Mig". I'm not too crazy about the original version, but I'm really feeling the Deadmau5 remix!
———————————————————————————
Dragonette – Pick Up The Phone: Full disclosure? This is my favorite song in this round. For those not in the know, Dragonette is a Canadian electro-pop group (that happens to have some cute guys in it). Their latest single is a bit rockier than some of their other stuff, but it's still got a nice groove to it.
