Weekly Top Ten: Say Goodbye To Robbie

Since making his debut on Manhunt Daily's Weekly Top Ten, UK hottie Robbie Williams managed to spend eleven more weeks on the charts. He became the first male vocalist to hit the number one spot, and he managed to do so for a total of four times. Then he gradually began to slip out of the rankings within the past three weeks. It was inevitable that we'd have to say goodbye some day, but who knew that it'd hurt so much? At least we still have his naked pictures

Keeping Robbie company in the loser's circle are none other than Alexandra Burke, Cheryl Cole and Jennifer Lopez. Each made their debut on the charts last week and failed to make it to the top five. Yeasayer, Raphael Saadiq and Dizzee Rascal were eliminated in the Wild Card round, before they even had a chance to make an impact.

If you're new to the Weekly Top Ten, make sure to lube yourself up while I explain the rules. Each week you'll be presented with ten songs. You get to vote for up to three moving to the next week. From those results, we'll take the five tunes with the highest percentages, a song we saved and four other contributions. These selections will make up the following week's charts

So who do you have to screw to get your favorite song on the list? Scott Alexander, but only if I'm invited to come film it! Or you could just leave a comment with your suggestion. We listen to nearly every song you recommend, and if it gets our whistles wet… you might see it here next week!

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

  1. Lady Gaga – Bad Romance (LW – 1): Is anyone surprised? Gaga continues her hold on the top spot for the fourth week in a row. Now that Robbie Williams is out of the picture, it's impossible to say who'll knock her out next. She remains unstoppable!
  2. Janet Jackson – Make Me (LW – 2): We were worried that Janet's high ranking last week was only fueled by the debut of her music video and her performance at the American Music Awards, but you proved us wrong by voting her to the runner-up position for the second week in a row.
  3. Ke$ha – Tik Tok (LW – 7): Wow, how did Ke$ha go from not even making it through the Wild Card round to the number three spot? We're not sure if the world really needed a solo female version of 3OH!3, but the opening "P. Diddy" lyric of this song still has us giggling.
  4. Shakira – Did It Again (LW – 3): Oh, hell to the no! Shakira can not keep slipping like this. I've based most of my recent fantasies off the bed-dancing in this music video. You guys better keep this song in the top five, or else I might stop sharing my slutty stories with you. 
  5. Aqua – My Mamma Said (LW – 4): Aqua surprised me by storming into the top five, and I've been even more surprised by their longevity on the charts. Could this still have potential to become the song of winter? It's impossible to say.
  6. Florence + The Machine – You've Got The Love (LW – 6): By now you've probably figured out that I'm doing everything I can to prevent Florence Welch from meeting her demise. She technically tied with Jennifer Lopez last week, so you know where my loyalties lie. Maybe J. Lo can come back after the premiere of the "Louboutins" music video?
  7. Sade – Soldier of Love (DEBUT): After abandoning us for nearly a decade, Sade is back with the title track from their upcoming album Soldier of Love. It's darker than most of the selections on here, but there's no denying that it's just as good.
  8. Mary J. Blige – I Am (DEBUT): The queen of hip-hop soul didn't do too well with the first single from her new album Stronger with Every Tear, so she came through to show us a different side on her latest single "I Am". This is reminiscent of classic Mary, and the opening reminds me a lot of "Everything".
  9. Kid Cudi f/ MGMT & Ratatat – Pursuit of Happiness (WILD CARD): We tried to make Yeasayer happen, but it looks like this is the closest we'll get to some indie action on the Weekly Top Ten. Thanks to special guests MGMT and Ratatat, the beat on this track is absolutely insane.
  10. Mariah Carey – H.A.T.E.U. (DEBUT): One of the better offerings from Mariah's latest album, with a video that's pretty much a waste of time. It's a slow jam but not in the sexy sort of way. Well, I guess you could hate-fuck someone to this, right?

  1. Thoneick, Diaz & Young Rebels – Perfect Moment
    That is the song I want to see in the Weekly Top Ten. The video is fun and shot in Rio de Janeiro. Much better than a full season of America’s Next Top Model.

  2. Great to see Mariah back on the list.
    HATEU is just another great song from her latest great album. 🙂

  3. I am so in love with Ke$ha these days. I hope her next single Blah Blah Blah (feat. 3OH!3) is up on here soon. I lot of guys on this site probably need to check out Dinosaur as well lol.

  4. Dewitt – you’re the man for saving Florence. I know I’m probably the only person voting for her but she totally rocks the free world.
    Here’s a recommendation for next week: “Night by Night” by Chromeo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppNC0uAaCv0
    This song is ridiculously addictive. I find it hard not to dance while listening to it!
