To listen and cast your vote, follow the JUMP:
Drake f/ Lil Wayne – Miss Me: Initially, I didn’t view this as an epic summer scorcher. Then it came on the radio on a breezy day, and I just rolled down the windows and started bobbing my head! For the record, I’m not talking about that kind of head-bobbing. But if anyone else wants to take the wheel, I’m pretty awesome when it comes to road head.

MGMT – Congratulations: Although their latest album hasn’t produced any aural gems in the vein of “Kids” or “Electric Feel”, we argued that it was much stronger as a whole. Also, the music videos have been just as weird, if not weirder. Their latest clip features an adorable monster, which falls apart as it walks with the band. Sad!

Cee Lo Green – Fuck You: Some of you may not be familiar with “Cee Lo Green” by the name alone, but you’d probably recognize him as the lead singer from Gnarls Barkley. The chorus of his latest solo cut is packed with expletives. However, it sounds a lot sweeter than you’d expect.

Example – Last Ones Standing: Here’s a confession. When you originally suggested Example for the Weekly Top Ten, I didn’t snub him because of his physical appearance. It was because I hated “Kickstarts”. With that said, this jam could definitely grow on me. And what are you guys even talking about? He’s totally hot in an uber-geeky, awkward sort of way!
Hmm, really don’t care for any but at least MGMT are cute, even if this song isn’t.
That Drake *song* is the worst run-on sentence ever. Hates it!
MGMT are one of the best things out there! Hope they make it on there
Drake’s song(??) is awful. Cee Lo Greene’s will never make it past being a novelty. MGMT is depressing and Example is pretty bad. Can’t see either one on the Top Ten. Sorry!!
I didn’t vote. Mindless blathering is all I heard. What happened to music?? 🙂
Gotta go with Example. UK represent!
And the love for Example “kickstarts” again. Dewitt, thanks for being honest about hating his previous single. I am still voting for the new one.
i do love the Cee Lo Green song.
Cee Lo green–awesome, fun, bouncy song expressing some very big, and very real anger. That takes quite a bit of artistry. (It’s much harder than it looks to be that catchy.)
