#1 Pick goes to birthday girl Madonna, who turned 49 yesterday.

Along with a new album (expected later this year) Madge has teamed up with Annie Lennox on Lennox's new album, Songs Of Mass Destruction.

Jacques Lu Cont = a moniker for Stuart Price.

#10 welcomes the return of WEEDS on Showtime. The song was written by Malvina Reynolds in 1962. Little Boxes is thought to be inspired visually by the houses of Daly City, California (!), as Reynolds lived in nearby Berkeley. In the second season, different artists performed Little Boxes in the introduction sequence of each episode. Reynolds' version was used for the finale of the second season.

For the upcoming third season, more bands will cover the opening. The Decemberists and The Shins will be two of the bands covering the song in the third season.
