Are you just dying to know what some of the Top 24 "American Idol" contestants are singing this week? Look no further.According to Idol Maniac, who has proved to have good spoilers both this season and in past seasons, the theme this week is Billboard 100s Top 10 from the years 1958-72 and 2004-10. Here are some of the supposed songs the Top 24:
John Park: "At Last" by Etta James
Ashley Rodriguez: "Happy" by Leona Lewis
Siobhan Magnus: "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls
Alex Lambert: "Wonderful World" by James Morrison
Didi Benami: A song by Ingrid Michaelson
Katie Stevens: A song by Michael Buble
Joe Munoz: A song by The Beatles
Tyler Grady: A song by The Who/The Guess Who
Somebody: "Oh, Darling" by The Beatles
Somebody: Another Beatles song
We are surprised to see so many Beatles songs on the list. That's a big group to undertake week one. It's hilarious that the Tyler Grady spoiler lists "The Who/The Guess Who." We hope the person who posted the spoilers realizes that those are two different bands. Finally, we think Siobhan Magnus just booked her ticket home with that song choice.
Your thoughts?
UPDATE: Thank you to Alert Commenter Beth for updated parameters on the theme for the week.

Somebody needs to do some better research/spoilering. "Oh, Darling" was not a Top 10 hit by the Beatles and was certainly not released by them after 1972 (it was from 1969). There was a version by Robin Gibb released in 1978, but it only hit #15.
Either this list is bunk or they got the category wrong. The Beatles only had two Top 10 hits in the years 1972-2010: "Got to Get You Into My Life" in 1976 and "Free as a Bird" in 1995.
At Last was released in 1961 by Etta James. How can it possibly fit the category of top 10 songs after 1972? And The Who's only top 10 hit came in 1967 9so it;s not them), and the Guess Who's only top 10 hit after 1972 was Clap for the Wolfman, which I am positive nobody will do.
Leona Lewis also did not make the Top 10 with Happy. It peaked at #31.
OK, so to add to this list: "Happy" by Leona Lewis peaked at #31 on the Hot 100, "Wonderful World" by James Morrison never even charted in the US, and Michael Buble has never had a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
So is the category wrong, the titles inaccurate, or is the whole thing just made up?
Good Lord - I just looked up Ingrid Michaelson, and of course, she has never had a Top 10 hit on the Hot 100 either. So none of the songs on the list even fit the category! Who make this stuff up?
I'm guessing the category must be wrong. If it's a reliable spoiler site, then chances are they got some of the songs correct, right?
The parameters are actually 1958-1972 and 2004-2010. Speculation is that the 70s, 80s and 90s may have been left out for use in later theme.
It's the top 10 in any chart, not jut the Billboard Hot 100.
Funny that Alex Lambert gets to sing "Wonderful World." David Archuleta chose that song and the producers told him no.
