I mean, you could make it a Top 2 otherwise:
1) Bad Programming
2) Bad Design

Top Three:

It covers everything; easy to interpret and hence fail or pass as you like.

imho an OWASP "Top Ten" shouldn't really cover _my_ development

IMHO, we need a top ten problems and a top ten bad practices list.
That would help a lot more.
