I think that Caught Up, Climax, My Way, Scream, and maybe More will miss the top 10.

How is "There Goes My Baby" so damn low? It's actually higher than some people expected, I'm sure. It made the top one-third of the rankdown, so I'd say that's pretty high.

Remaining ranks: Look at that, fearlessarrow still has all of his top ten intact! But how much longer is that going to last? Hmm...

"More" certainly has no place being this high. And "Nice and Slow" out before top 10 is a mess.

I still remember the day OMG came out and my roommate rushing in to beg me to listen to it right away because "you're either going to love it or absolutely hate it, and I need to know right now what side you're on." Me after listening: "ok, I think I love it...but what IS this?" lol. I understand why it smashed so quickly. Usher hadn't had a pop hit since LITC at that time, but he hadn't really 'fallen off' yet in appeal or name recognition, so I think that audience was still thirsty for another big song from him. He performed on Idol early in the song's run, back when performing on Idol really meant something. And while I don't necessarily hear any Boom Boom Pow in OMG, OMG is unmistakeably a Will.i.am track and this was at the time Will/BEP's sound was in high demand. It was pretty much a guaranteed hit. I still lol at some urban stations cutting Will's part out though. #petty
I'm really surprised the title track to My Way is still in this; I was always under the impression that it was one of his more forgotten hits. It's certainly the least mentioned one from that album. (Sidebar: I wish Bedtime had gotten a 'proper' release so it would have counted as a single. :( )
SMH so hard at N&S being out before the likes of More and Scream.

They are not gems. Like at all. You've head the rest of his discography I imagine?
Also, "My Way" is a jam @antigonerising

Good, I was worried that I was the only one who does not really like Scream too much.

What is it with people hating on gems like More and Scream? In fairness, for me it's more about how great I think Nice and Slow is. I like both More and Scream well enough, but they lean generic and don't outweigh other songs for me. Scream in particular annoys me because a) it's Yeah pt. II (but somehow with less energy?), and I was good with Yeah pt. I; and b) Euphoria was the far superior pop gem on Looking 4 Myself and should have been the first single. But I will admit that Scream live goes off and I ended up ranking it higher than I thought I would because of that. I could watch him perform it all day. On record, eh. Depending on my mood I may or may not skip it to move on to the rest of that album. More could and should have been a bigger hit for him and I'll never understand why its promo was so half-assed.

^Euphoria yes! I will never understand why that didn't get single treatment.
Sorry to be facetious Miles though I'm sort of not being facetious because only in this world is "Nice & Slow" out already and before the examples that Cynthia gave, "More" and "Scream" which makes me think the younger demo that likely participated doesn't appreciate peak Usher.

Speaking for myself and a few people I talked to about it, "Nice & Slow" is by far the inferior of the three singles from My Way. And yes, I do prefer "More (RedOne Jimmy Joker remix" and "Scream" over "Nice & Slow". And yes, I was alive at the time "Nice & Slow" came out.

15. "My Way" Average Rank: 17.0625 Median Rank: 12 Standard Deviation: 11.80095335 (9th-highest) Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #2
I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that this missed the top 10 in the end. It was in the top 10 for a good portion of the process, and was even as high as #4 at one point, but some lower ranks toward the end kept it from finishing in the top ten. It made the Billboard Hot 100 1990's decade-end top 100, but this was probably, at least in part, due to the exclusion of non-sales singles from the Hot 100 until late 1998. This song grew on me over the course of the rankdown, and became one of my favorites from him. I have heard it before the rankdown, though, of course.

Yeah, this deserved better, honestly. Coming up next is a song that I wish did not end up finishing above "My Way".

14. "My Boo" Average Rank: 16.5625 Median Rank: 15 Standard Deviation: 10.44968102 Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #1
This is the first song we have seen so far from Confessions. This song is great, but also a bit overhyped, IMO. I'm especially upset that it beat "My Way" because of a last-minute submission. Maybe I just heard this song too many times. This was the 4th single from the album, and also its 4th consecutive #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It's safe to say the album was a massive success. jaytee 3 Mr. Thonk Eyes 5 alexcuse 6 MilesW1998 7 mamooshka 10 Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast 12 @phillippe 13 awesomecharts 14 crazyb 16 fearlessarrow 16 CF15 20 Chelsea Press 2 21 @antigonerising 21 @walker9 29 #LisaRinna 30 jtd Thee Stallion 42 Ice Cream 15 (Broccoli 2018) graham castleoblivion26 Albie {Remaining Songs}"You Make Me Wanna..."

Coming up next is the song with the 10th-lowest standard deviation. It has just 4 top 10 ranks, but it has no ranks lower than #30...

For our last reveal of the day, we have the last song to miss the top ten. This song only has two bottom-half ranks and eleven top-20 ranks. Which song could it be?

I feel like this is either URM, UDHTC, climax, or scream.

Scream does not deserve top 10 IMO.
