"Remember all of the Super Bowl banter \u2014 the smack talk, the color commentary, and the commercial cheers/jeers \u2014 that filled your Twitter feed last weekend? Turns out it didn't hold a candle to the Holy Trinity of American pop: Britney, Gaga and Bieber. The anticipated release of Spears' new album generated so much tweetable heat that it stayed in the top 10 trends for seven days straight, and lands the number one spot on our list this week.\nOnly then does the Super Bowl make an appearance at number two, followed very closely by Lady Gaga at number three, whose newest single just \"dropped\" (as the kids say) this past Friday. And Justin Bieber's fans sent his name into the number four slot with a frenzy of tweets about his upcoming 3D movie.\nAnd the latest news from the tenuous situation in Egypt? The topic, after its last few weeks in the social media spotlight, has fallen to number 10 on this week's chart, despite the country's ongoing political developments.  \nFor the full list of top trends, check out the chart below, compiled by our friends at What the Trend. Because this is a topical list, hashtag memes and games have been omitted from the chart.\nYou can check past Twitter trends in our Top Twitter Topics section, and read more about this past week\u2019s trends on What The Trend.\nTop Twitter Trends This Week: 2/4 - 2/10\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of iStockphoto, 123render"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
