Oy. I wish I had known ahead of time what splitting the lists would do to my rankings. Triumphant at #45 is just...

I Don't is Mariah trying to, and failing to hop onto the urban trends. It's like she's trying way to hard to sound sexy, and copy Beyonce as well and it just fails for me.

I wanted to egg you into doing it right but you were so high when you submitted...and you're always admitting that you're kind of high...that I figured I'm probably lucky I got the list I did lmao

Was it clear that you wanted it all as one list in the beginning though? Whatever. What's done is done. I'm nervous to see the rest of my rankings now though LOL.

A couple of other people (presumably not high at the time) made the same mistake so I presumed it wasn't clear on my end. I had to reformat the OP to clear up the confusion.

I like the way the same was incorporated in I Don't, but that's about it.

Ugh I'm mad at myself for thinking I was going to do this and not getting around to it. I could have at least done the #1's pretty quickly if nothing else. But I definitely would have been along with fearlessarrow in ranking "Thank God I Found You" higher than most. The Rainbow album is really nostalgic for me. I hope y'all at least don't do "Heartbreaker" dirty... In terms of the full rankdown, good job knocking out Triumphant right out of the gate. It would have been my #100 too. Lol! This kept happening the other day in the 2014 R&B/Hip-Hop Rankdown and now here we are... Oh you two, just get married already! And please invite me to the wedding.

Too bad Triumphant is the last song If I remember well that was the last Mimi song I really liked ( if it was after Almost home) - I don't remember
I made my weekly top 5 songs on my FB page And just saw the ither day it was #1 during one week in some summer ...
I don't - on the other hand is just bad.

Death at me being the highest on TRIUMPHANT. I hated it at first but the remixes ushered me along and also made me love the original. QUEEN of EVOLUTION.

I Don't is Mariah trying to, and failing to hop onto the urban trends. Let's not. It's a good song, good production and good sample. Y'all are just waiting for the next Pop hit. I also don't get why "Thank God I Found You" gets such a bad rep. I love it. As for "Triumphant" well it was JD's best production in a while at the time. He's done better since then and this song will always have that "not enough Mariah" stigma.

Oy. I wish I had known ahead of time what splitting the lists would do to my rankings. @antigonerising shoulda told us tbh. Next thing you know I have "You're Mine (Eternal)" as my #1. I fought way too hard to make everyone split their lists to deserve this!

Every time I get tagged, I am now going to wonder what fresh hell awaits me. I hope that the stuff I ranked at the top still stay there. I am a Humanities/Linguistics/Psychology kinda guy, so all those standard deviants and ratios and complex equations are over my head. I just look at the ranking and how other people ranked the songs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually quite like TGIFY. It recently really grew on me. That said, it's still my least favorite #1 from her.

My thoughts so far
Thank God I Found You - Not a surprise AT ALL. I really like the song, but I don't even think it could've beat Loverboy if it were #1. I'm guessing Touch My Body will be next with I Don't Wanna Cry or I'll Be There soon after (just because of a lack of high rankings). This song actually grew on me when I got the CD single. The celebratory mix is what made me get into it. I'm a sucker for that canned and overused beat!
Triumphant - Good riddance
The One - This was one of my higher ranking *new to me* songs.
I Don't - :'( I actually really like this one and thought it might hang on longer than a lot of the songs from her last few albums.
So far I'm one of the top 3 rankers of 3 of the songs, and I did the top 100 list in full so these are my real rankings.

I couldnt remember placing The One remix at 100. I don't think it would be there if I was do the list again today - definitely late 90s for sure. My list really would change by the day. Also, I believe this deserves some kind of explanation Albie:

"The One" remix sounds so amateur. Like the quality of the recording straight up sucks.

Lol Thank God I Found You forever in last place
Also Triumphant would've been better if it were a solo MC song I Don't was always just a weak song caught in a list of gems and gleaming cuts from albums

Also, I believe this deserves some kind of explanation Albie: lol I don't have much to offer except I like it? As you and I have shared before, this list could be reordered in many ways on any given day so try not to hold it against me haha

I just can't imagine how bad a day would have to be to place The One remix in the top 15 songs 😬

I am a Humanities/Linguistics/Psychology kinda guy, so all those standard deviants and ratios and complex equations are over my head. I just look at the ranking and how other people ranked the songs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I would say that if Triumphant is any indication you have nothing to worry about lol. Your lower ranks will still bring a song down, just not quite as much as you might have wanted them too. Meanwhile your higher ranked songs (anything above a 20 or 25) will still get the boost that a top 20 rank would give in any rankdown. It's just going to look a little weird in some of these early reveals when you see your name consistently near or at the top of the individual rankings. Or for one of your lower ranked songs, when you see your name right in the center of the list when it should be near the bottom next to mine. I had briefly considered assigning a weight to your/Mario/Caviar's ranks to account for this but anything I came up with would have been arbitrary and the difference it made in final results was not enough to be worth the effort.

Lol whatever its not that bad a song at all That's what I tried to tell myself too, until I went on a two-week repeat-1 binge of the Drifting remix of Underneath the Stars and had to reflect on the error of my ways. How could I have overlooked this? :'( I didn't want to make people redo their rankdowns but damn, I should have switched The One out for this.
