I need help with the last four so that I can relax and watch TV instead of wasting my time:

10a. Book some poor sweeper that's handled (5) B - S - -. BASIN?

12d. Debilitating disease couple said to be imitating (2-3) - - / T - O. No idea at all. If BASIN is correct, first word starts with N.

5d. Enter the world with thick hair, but not on top (5) H - T - H. HUTCH? HATCH? HITCH?

52a. In gospel-singing era, less pop (6,3). L - N - E - / A - E. LENTEN AGE, but why "less pop"?
