5. Lady Gaga – Judas
Oh, the betrayal! Gaga’s newest single mashes the song structure of “Bad Romance” with the merciless pounding of Nicole Scherzinger’s “Poison” to create a shriek-filled ode to subservience and codependency. Whether you love it, hate it or proclaim it to be the work of the Devil, one thing’s for sure: “Judas” is about to plague the airwaves for the rest of the year. (LISTEN) (iTunes)

4. Nicole Scherzinger – Right There
Sure, her album came out exactly one month ago, but I’m still twerking my hips to this “What’s My Name?”-esque groove. Produced by Jim Jonsin and co-penned by the reliably naughty Ester Dean, Scherzy Baby’s Caribbean-tinged love letter scribed for the man who knows how to “go down, down, duh-down” is right up my street. (LISTEN) (iTunes UK)

3. Tinashe – Chainsaw
While ex-Stunners sensation Tinashe is still gearing up for the release of her debut solo single, this leak from her studio sessions with “Like A G6″ hit-makers The Cataracs has the bass bumping so hard I’ve already misplaced my pants. (LISTEN)

2. Jennifer Lopez – Papi
Did J. Lo have you heading to the floor with her last hit? Good–now stay there! La Lopez is back with another Latin-infused RedOne club thumper–and arguably one of her best club anthems since “Waiting For Tonight.” Mm papi, love you! (LISTEN) (iTunes)

1. Wynter Gordon – Til Death
One of MuuMuse’s favorite pop vixens retuns with her long-awaited second Australian single, “Til Death”! Armed with a punchy chorus and some of the best lyrics in recent dance-pop history (“‘Til death do we party, with the music I die!”), Wynter’s latest is destined to make the rounds at every club across the galaxy. Watch for the MuuMuse Approved post later this week! (LISTEN) (iTunes Australia)

    I agree for the most part with a few exceptions. My top 5 replaces Nicole’s ‘Right There’ with the stunning ‘Wet’, arguably the best StarGate produced track since RiRi’s ‘Don’t Stop the Music’.

    I tried to give Tinashe a chance, but by the third playcount I was ready to ‘Chainsaw’ my ears off.

    It’s a shame you are such a Britney hater, Bradley, because Femme Fatale is definitely the best pop album of any pop star’s career – ‘I Wanna Go’ and ‘Inside Out’ being the standouts of the bunch.

    You could knock me on the floor with a feather for that last statement, Brooke. Calling me a Britney hater is like accusing Godney of disliking Cheetoh’s or something!

    I can’t acknowledge Britney in EVERY post I do, you know! ;)

    I would have loved to seen a review on Nicole’s “Killer Love” album – I don’t know if you’ve listened to it or anything but it surely has much much better tracks than “Right There”, an unwise single choice if you ask me. Have you heard “Wet”, it’s amazing, as well as “Killer Love” and “Club Banger Nation”
