Thursday Top Tens: February 18, 2010

It's Thursday, so it's another edition of this week's top ten lists. No NHL with the Olympic Break, the NHL Power Rankings will return in two weeks.


Week 16 NBA Power Rankings

1. Cleveland Cavaliers 43-11 (1)
2. Los Angeles Lakers 42-13 (2)
3. Denver Nuggets 35-18 (3)
4. Orlando Magic 37-18 (4)
5. Utah Jazz 34-19 (5)
6. Atlanta Hawks 34-18 (6)
7. Boston Celtics 33-18 (8) Big Jumper of the Week
8. Dallas Mavericks 33-21 (7) Big Faller of the Week
9. Oklahoma City Thunder 31-21 (9)
10. San Antonio Spurs 31-21 (NR)

Off This Week: Phoenix Suns (10)

Not a lot of changes this week with a short week due to the All-Star Game. The top six teams remains the same as last week. The Celtics and Mavericks flip flop spots at seven and eight, and are respectively the big jumper and faller of the week. Oklahoma City sticks in at nine, and the Spurs pass the Suns for the ten spot.


Week 2 NASCAR Power Rankings

1. Jimmie Johnson (1) 58 points
2. Kevin Harvick (10) 156 points Big Jumper of the Week
3. Kurt Busch (9) 99 points
4. Matt Kenseth (NR) 142 points
5. Jeff Gordon (5) 90 points
6. Clint Bowyer (NR) 165 points
7. Jamie McMurray (NR) 190 points
8. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (NR) 175 points
9. Greg Biffle (NR) 170 points
10. Carl Edwards (3) 138 points Big Faller of the Week

Off This Week: Denny Hamlin (2), Kyle Busch (4), Mark Martin (6), Tony Stewart (7), Kasey Kahne (8)

 Lots of changes this week, some of which may be controversial. I'm keeping Jimmie Johnson at one because he always races poorly at Daytona, cut him a break. Kevin Harvick is the big jumper this week, he had the fastest car at Daytona and goes to two. Kurt Busch had a solid race until the end, he jumps to three. Matt Kenseth is new at four this week, he had a solid 8th place finish. Jeff Gordon stays at five, like Johnson I think he rebounds. Bowyer and McMurray were both great on Sunday and are in at six and seven this week. Likewise, Earnhardt and Biffle's terrific runs get them eight and nine. Carl Edwards falls from three to seven this week, his poor performance keeps him barely on the list. Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Mark Martin, Tony Stewart, and Kasey Kahne all are off this week, they need to bounce back at Fontana to return to this list.


The Weekly ARC Top Ten Songs This Week

1. Tik Tok - Kesha (1)
2. Bad Romance - Lady Gage (2)
3. Sexy Bitch - David Guetta ft. Akon (3)
4. According to You - Orianthi (5)
5. Do You Remember - Jay Sean ft. Sean Paul and Lil Jon (4)
6. Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas (8) Big Jumper of the Week
7. Telephone - Lady Gage ft. Beyonce (9)
8. Two is Better Than One - Boys Like Girls ft. Taylor Swift (6)
9. BedRock - Young Money ft. Lloyd (NR)
10. Carry Out - Timbaland ft. Justin Timberlake (NR)

Off This week: Hard - Rihanna ft. Jeezy (7) Big Faller of the Week, Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z and Alicia Keys (10)

The top three remains the same, as Kesha is king for the fifth straight week over Gaga and Guetta. Orianthi and Jay Sean flip flop at four and five. The six through ten spots saw lots of shuffling this week. Imma Be is the big jumper to my amusement, that stupid song is somehow up to six. Telephone is also up to seven as Gaga charges for number one again. Boys Like Girls fell two spots to eight as Taylor Swift may be sadly completely gone by next week from the top ten. Two new and rather lousy songs are at nine and ten, BedRock by Young Money, his ARC top ten debut, and Carry Out by Timbaland. Hard by Rihanna surprisingly fell off this week from seven, it's the big faller this week. As expected, Empire State of Mind is off as well.


The Top Ten Movies for the Weekend of February 13th
1. Valentine's Day (NR) Big Jumper of the Week
2. Wolf Man (NR)
3. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (NR)
4. Avatar (2)

Off This Week: The Book of Eli (7), Legion (9), Sherlock Holmes (10)

Valentine's Day, starring any Hollywood name you can think of, as well as everyone's favorite country singer dating everyone's favorite werewolf, debuted at number one (surprise, surprise). Wolf Man debuted at two, who wants to see a scary movie for Valentine's?? Percy Jackson and the Olympians debuted at a slightly disappointing third this week. Avatar's fall from grace begins, its fourth this week. The Big Faller, however, is Dear John, all the way down to a shocking five. The Tooth Fairy continues to hang in at six (ugh)m while Paris With Love and Edge of Darkness are down to seven and eight. Crazy Heart hangs around at nine, and When in Rome is barely alive at ten, just edging Book of Eli. Eli, Legions, and Holmes are off this week.
