I got so angry about Evanescence that I insulted them in another thread and got two WPs!!!!
That's how annoying their position has been!

Oh my god. The impact of my rate!
I didn't know there were so many Evanescence stans on here. Judging already by its position inside our Top 15, they (what do you call them? Evanescence-ers?) are here for BLOOD.
I kinda want to do an Evanescence vs Paramore vs Linkin Park rate now to see the MESS.

It's nearly time for 3 more tonight.
Lemme slip into something more comfortable and get myself a cup of hot chocolate.

I don't think this could get ANY worse after all the messy eliminations from the last few days/weeks.
I'm praying for certain songs to leave tonight.

13. Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris- We Found Love (8.303)
Highest score: 10 x (jinzo, Stevie, HaHa2011, Green, Strangergab, lovesong, Kool_Aid_King, Pink Panther, boyamama, VJoker, Chemist, CrazyCat, Soma80)
You need to buy Diamonds from iTunes: 0 x1 (airbornE)
An unflattering picture of Rihanna:
Wikipedia says this about the single:
"The song's lyrics speak of a couple who finds love in a hopeless place."
Oh. I always thought the song was about carrots.
If there's one thing to know about being a member of the Navy, it's that album sales don't matter as long as your fave has nice hair. Oh, and that at all times you ignore Rihanna's Twitter account. At first, she was all:
"[t]he [Loud era] continues with more new music to add to [your] collection"
Then she was all:
"I [thought about] a [re-release], but LOUD is its own body of work! Plus [you] guys work so hard that [you] deserve to act brand new"
With all that indecision and not knowing a f*ck about anything ever, you could have mistook her for Nicki Minaj. But no, Talk That Talk was there....and it's spawned iconic hits like You Da One and Cockiness (Love It). The world has been made a less hopeless place with more songs about Rihanna's vagina.
This song itself would precede a whole smörgåsbord of Calvin-produced goodness; songs ya'll continue to bop to in the dead of night. And this stayed at 10 weeks US #1! Not as much as Macarena, but a bit more than Michelle McManus. She now has as many US #1s as Whitney Houston. She's one away from equalling Madonna. Truly a legend.
Jinzo's verdict: 10
I'll admit....the very first listen, I was all "WTF this sh*t?". Of course, like every other gerl out there, I cannot now get enough. I go IN when this is on in the club...heck, I'd go IN if this got played whilst I was in the middle of a supermarket. A dance-pop staple that set the tone for the pop girls that couldn't.

I gave "Only Girl" a 10 
It should be out around now though. I don't think it deserves top 10. #12-15 is perfect for it.

I rated "We Found Love" when I thought it wasn't better than "Only Girl"; now I completely disagree.

Only Girl should be lower than We Found Love.

12. Shakira ft. Wyclef Jean- Hips Don't Lie (8.316)
Highest score: 10 x17 (Stevie, backtoback, madonnas, Green, jqnetto, Cassiopeia, conseeded, Superben, airbornE, Regina George, Kool_Aid _King, Regina George, berberocka, Sporefan, Chemist, Flashing Lights, Konichiwa)
Lowest score: 0 x1 (Strangergab)
An unflattering picture of Shakira:
It could be argued that this was a pretty big deal for Shaki. Her first #1 in the US or UK, #1 in 25+ other countries, 10m+ singles sold worldwide, VMA.....yep, this put her on the same level as the likes of Ciara for #1s! 
The Latino Ciara indeed, this single was meant to save the seriously flagging Oral Fixation vol.2...a continuation the Spanish-speaking Vol.1. Scenario: her Spanish-speaking album sold more in the first-week in the US than her follow-up English-speaking one (157,000 copies vs. 128,000). And after Vol. 2's lead single Don't Bother was taken too literally by the buying public leading to a shameful #42 peak, Epic called up Wyclef Jean in a feat of utter desperation to save Shakira. Luckily, their desperation led to people buying this song a little bit more. Probably out of charity.
Anyway, the video features Shakira dancing round with not many clothes on. Original.
It also stopped Unfaithful, Everytime We Touch and Ain't No Other Man from going #1 in the UK. And iconic smash-hit Ridin' by Chamillionaire. Like, could you hate this bitch any more?
Jinzo's verdict: 1
This is just awful stuff. Horrendous, even. Her vocals are simply awful. Wyclef is the worst thing since typhoid. The production is dross. Just nothing at all I like about this. Why it's nearly in the Top 10 is offending stuff.

Can't believe Hips Don't Lie went #1 but Whenever, Whenever didn't
Whenever, Wherever would have been top 10 for sure.
