Can anyone stop Lady Gaga and Beyonce on Manhunt Daily's Weekly Top Ten? Technically, yes. Christina Aguilera was only a few percentage points from stealing the number one spot from the other two pop divas, and it's quite possible that she'll get her moment to shine in the weeks to come. Or she'll perpetually be stuck in second place, right behind "Telephone". Only time will tell!
Gaga and Aguilera aren't the only ones stuck in the same position. There haven't been many changes to the top five, aside from Kelis ousting Owl City from the number four spot. He's joined in the loser's circle by Janet Jackson, Usher and Kiely Williams, as well as Wild Card rejects Maxwell, Drake and Deftones.
If you're a Weekly Top Ten virgin, drop your "pants on the ground" 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:
- Lady Gaga f/ Beyonce – Telephone (LW – 1, W6): There's really not much to say here. Blah, blah, blah. OMG, crazy outfits! Blah, blah, blah. Isn't she a genius? Blah, blah, blah. Something about cows and burgers. Long story short, Gaga tops the countdown for the fifth week in a row.
- Christina Aguilera – Not Myself Tonight (LW – 2, W3): This one's been growing on us since making its debut a couple of weeks ago, and clearly you've been feeling the same way about it. Here's hoping that Christina can pull out something epic for the music video.
- Robin Thicke f/ Estelle – Rollacoasta (LW -3, W4): We're still not sure whether Robin's here for his actual song or just the pure fact that he's sexy. Something tells us it may be the latter of the two, or potentially some combination of both.
- Kelis – Acapella (LW – 6, W3): The "Bossy" singer busts out a new image and sound, transforming into a fabulous dance diva. We hope her album goes platinum, because that plaque would look good next to the big check her ex-hubby Nas has been ordered to pay her. Work it out, girl!
- Lindsay Lohan – Stuck (LW – 5, W3): Lindsay strains her smokey voice over a beat that isn't actually half bad. And we proceed to rip our hair out over the fact that this song is still on the charts. There obviously must be some "Vote For The Worst" campaign going on behind our backs. We're looking at you, Jimbo.
- Diana Vickers – Once (LW – 9): With no disrespect to Alexandra Burke, this is one of the best songs to emerge from the fifth season of The X-Factor. We're glad to see that it got so many votes on the charts, but it's going to need a lot more to stay in this competition.
- Scissor Scisters – Invisible Light (DEBUT): The Scissor Sisters are fucking back! They've unveiled the final track for their upcoming album Night Work, and it's been compared to everything from Pink Floyd to ABBA. Whether or not you agree with those comparisons, you have to admit that it's pretty damn awesome.
- Taio Cruz f/ Kes$ha – Dirty Picture (DEBUT): I was enraged at how many of you wrote this off as complete trash. How in the hell are you going to diss my favorite song? Just kidding. I think this is total crap too. Someone needs to shower Ke$ha in something that isn't alcohol-based.
- Grum – Can't Shake This Feeling (WILD CARD): When Grum remixed Lady Gaga and Goldfrapp, a little bit of their fabulousness must have rubbed off on him. This hipster disco groove rocked the Wild Card round, despite fierce competition from Drake and Maxwell.
- Ellie Goulding – Guns And Horses (DEBUT): Although it's not on the same level as lead single "Under The Sheets", Ellie's third release may be one of her catchiest yet. With her flannel shirts and natural-looking face, she's essentially the epitome of anti-Gaga. But will that work in her benefit or lead to her ultimate demise?
LOL Dewitt, I was kidding about voting for the worst songs on this list. I hate Lindsay/Kesha music just as much as you do.
Although I haven’t been voting since Sade, Sophie and Alicia fell off the list. /butthurt
“Invisible Light”/Scissor Sisters…my favorite new record in a long, long time! Can’t stop playing it. Hope it’s a huge hit.
The chart is improving. My votes went to Diana Vickers, Christina and Kelis….again.
Check Macy Gray’s new single “Beauty in the world”. The Cutmore Radio Edit is pretty good and the song is already in the Billboard Dance charts.
Go Vickers! And also love that Macy Gray track. Saw it in the Ugly Betty finale and have had it on repeat all day.
Although, I voted and the polls came back 0 per cent across all songs. Hope it counted.
