I like it, it's not as good as all the other remaining songs though, but hey, it's Usher.
Here's how I think the top 5 to play out
5. U Got It bad 4. Burn 3. Confessions part II 2. You Make Me Wanna 1. Yeah

I'm shocked Climax made it as far as it did, but so happy about that. It's got sublime vocals and production and creates a mood like no other Usher song. (I'm especially happy that it beat out the slew of dance-pop Usher that made it into the top 10. I like Scream/DJ Got Us Fallin In Love/Love In This Club to varying degrees, but they all definitely feel like Usher chasing trends.)

Surprised that You Make Me Wanna has made it this far. And it didn't even beat "Scream" in the Artist Three's rankdown. I guess it is because a lot of non-fans participated in that one.

Up next is the song with the 9th-lowest SD. It has 6 top-three ranks and just one rank outside of the top 20...

I really shouldn't have put Confessions as my #1. I guess it was to have something other than Yeah.

At #3, we have the song with the 2nd-lowest SD. 8 people ranked it in their top five, and only one person ranked it lower than #15...

3. "Burn" Average Rank: 8.125 Median Rank: 5.5 Standard Deviation: 6.761410109 (2nd-lowest) Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #1
Don't get me wrong, I think this song is great! However, it does sort of sound like an inferior rip-off of "U Got It Bad", and I just simply do not think it is one of his best songs. That being said, though, I recognize that it is one of his classics, so I am not at all surprised to see it make it this high on this rankdown. Despite not receiving a single #1 rank, this song was winning after the second submission, since it was the only one that both of the first two people ranked in their top five. It stayed in the top 5 throughout almost the entire process, and it finished at #3, not too far behind the runner-up song. It spent 8 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was #2 on the 2004 Billboard Year-End Hot 100, only behind Usher's own "Yeah!", and it helped him earn a record, at the time, until the Black Eyed Peas broke it, for the most consecutive weeks at #1 for any artist. alexcuse 2 fearlessarrow 2 awesomecharts 2 @walker9 3 #LisaRinna 4 Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast 4 Mr. Thonk Eyes 4 crazyb 5 jtd Thee Stallion 6 MilesW1998 8 jaytee 9 Chelsea Press 2 11 mamooshka 14 CF15 14 @phillippe 15 @antigonerising 27 Ice Cream 15 (Broccoli 2018) graham castleoblivion26 Albie {Remaining Songs}"You Make Me Wanna..."

It's "You Make Me Wanna..." vs. "Yeah!". Which song will prevail and come out on top as the most popular Usher song on here?

I did not know that YMMW is THAT loved. I did not even rank it low at all, but it seems like I could be the lowest rank of it, or 2nd lowest.
Yeah ftw!!!

“Yeah” should have this in the bag. I’m super happy that “You Make Me Wanna...” was able to make its way into the top 2!!

The two songs that finished as the top two were the top 2 consistently after the first couple submissions. That is, neither of them moved at all throughout the last 80%+ of the process, although it was quite close, at some point.

Completely unsurprising top 2, but well-deserved. Would love to see YMMW pull off the upset but who is gonna complain about his greatest hit taking the crown.
Re: songs 3-5 my low-ish rankings look more out of line so much more than they should. All those songs are great but over time other songs/albums grew on me more.

Also, very happy to see Climax pull off a top 10 placing! I was worried it would miss completely. IMO it's the most innovative song he's ever done and deserved to be an even bigger hit than it was. It was huge on urban of course, but I'll never quite get why pop gave it the cold shoulder. It stalled out before it could even gain enough familiarity for a callout score. :(

2. "You Make Me Wanna..." Average Rank: 7.8125 Median Rank: 5 Standard Deviation: 7.295832144 (5th-lowest) Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #2
I guess it's forever destined to be #2. I am so happy it came this far. It was winning after the third submission, but remained at #2 thereafter. It was not really close to the #1 song in the second half. It would have been nice to see an upset win, but I do prefer "Yeah!" over this one, although this one is one of my favorite ever R&B songs. Despite being very unlucky with peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, it was in the top 20 on both 1997's and 1998's year-end Hot 100 list. It was also in the top 50 on Billboard's 1990's Decade-End Hot 100 and in the top 100 on their 2008 compilation of the All-Time Hot 100. It was a very successful and fantastic song. crazyb 1 Chelsea Press 2 1 fearlessarrow 1 MilesW1998 2 mamooshka 3 alexcuse 4 awesomecharts 4 CF15 4 Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast 6 jaytee 6 #LisaRinna 11 @phillippe 12 Mr. Thonk Eyes 13 @walker9 14 @antigonerising 15 jtd Thee Stallion 28 That means that the winner is...1. "Yeah!" (featuring Lil' Jon & Ludacris) Average Rank: 4.875 Median Rank: 3.5 Standard Deviation: 4.303099658 (lowest) Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #1
Yeah, I supposed it was kind of obvious, lol. It was not a close top 2, in the end. This was and is my favourite song from Usher. This is just such an earworm. Can't help but jam to it every time it comes on as a throwback on a local radio station. It spent 12 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was #2 on the 2000's Decade-End Hot 100. It was also #14 on the 2008 issue of the All-Time Hot 100. Also, not a single person ranked this song lower than #14. I guess this is a deserving winner for this rankdown. It also had the lowest SD of all the songs, so it was pretty much like a unanimous vote, lol.
