At the end of each week, #Top40Tweets lists a cross-section of artists on the current pop charts and puts their tweets on display (along with their current chart number) for your enjoyment/scrutiny. This week, we look at 6 artists on the Billboard Music Charts.

#14: Nicki Minaj –Super Bass

Dish-pan feet, the hot new style. Nothing is too outlandish for our girl Nicki.

Worth Following?: Somewhat. Moments like this make it worth wading through dozens of fan RTs every hour. Barely, though. Proceed with caution. Barbz be crazy.

#6: Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song

This is just begging to be meme’d. Somebody go reserve whoruntheworld.tumblr.com, I’ll get things started:

Things that could run the world:

– Curls
– Pearls
– Earls
– …Merls

Ugh, this is going to be a really short coffee table book.

Worth Following?: Bruno Mars may be the spawn of Satan himself, but this tweet shows that he may not be a complete waste of skin. I can’t endorse listening to his music, but I will endorse following him on twitter. Technology, man. This is a tough century to navigate.

#22: Tinie Tempah – Written In The Stars

~*~Yo, English people be serious about they tea, y’all~*~

Worth Following?: SURE, BUT BE WARNED, HE MAY NOT BE EVERYONE’S CUPPA TEA.

Joke regret, almost instant. Sigh.


#64 (R&B/Hip-Hop Albums): Nelly –
Gone feat. Kelly Rowland

That’s not fair, Nelly. Some companies are committed to going green. Some companies encourage all employees to use public transit. Some companies are based out of their Mom’s basement. Some companies sell hand-crocheted wall hangings on Etsy. I’m very proud to call myself the CEO of **Custom Yarn Art by Zorg**. You wouldn’t understand.

Worth Following?: Yes. Nelly is a class act. According to the man himself, he’s paid to send 14 kids to College this year. AND NONE OF THEM ARE HIS OWN. YUK-YUK. Ahhh, joke regret again. It’s like an ice cream headache.

#19: Ke$ha – Blow

And?

Hmm, I totally thought that Ke$ha identified as a slut. Maybe we need to give her a second chance, everyone.

Real wholesome.

Worth Following?: Yes. But this tweet confuses me. I thought Ke$ha is all about embracing the sleaze. I guess the takeaway here, boys and girls, is that being sleazy does not necessarily equate to being easy.

And to cap it off, GUESS WHO HIT 10 MILLION FOLLOWERS THIS WEEK:

Respect to Biebs, and well-wishes to our boy Sean Kingston. Apparently he’s in stable condition, which makes me feel way less bad about singing “Somebody call 9-1-1!” all week. Yeah, I’m a bad person.
