"Movin' On" and "Fallen" could've gone higher but I'm satisfied with where they are.

Funny enough the top-3 have the 3 lowest SD ranks in the RD while #4 has the 4th highest. It's 6 points ahead of #5 with 13 top-10 ranks and only 1 bottom-5 tanker. Which 3 of you are about to lose your #1? :kii:

"It's All About Me" feat. Sisqó was the first single released from Fear of Mýa on V-Day 1998. Her only certified Gold single, it peaked at #2 on R&B (blocked by "Too Close"), #6 on Hot 100 and #9 on Rhythmic.
I will never forget the day I saw this music video debut on The BOX! I immediately fell in love with everything about it and my obsession with Mýa was instantaneous! The song itself is quintessential late 90s R&B to me and but everything about it along with Mýa's image was such a striking counterpoint to the R&B girls dominating at the time that she immediately stood out as this beautifully unique R&B goddess. Which of her female peers could've and would've dared to deliver an iconic and uncensored line such as "up jumps my butt! nikka what, nikka what?!" with all that sass and sincerity?! To this day, I remain shooketh by the impact!

Yes! I remember The BOX music channel days before it was turned into MTV2. "It Was All About Me" video was my first time seeing Mya as well. I think it was on BET I first saw the video.

Is anybody else staring at that #31 ranking with a mean side-eye?

Ugh, I just listened to it again and probably wouldn't have ranked it so low I had a brain fart when I was previewing the songs and I kept listening to "Dru Hills part and not caring for it. I thought it was probably really their song and she was just featured on it and they used it for her cd. I have Mya's 1st cd but I purchased it after "Fear Of Flying' so some songs I didn't really ever get into. After listening I wouldn't have placed it in the Top 10 but probably 22-25 area.

Movin' On - Definitely prefer the remix more than the original. Loved the original as well but Silkk's offbeat flow liven it up. I'm glad she performs this more now in concerts. What I always loved about Mya was her in your face lyrics. This song is it with so many punchline lyrics. Fun fact, this was a contender for No.1 on the R&B charts, unfortunately it was only released as a 12' which hurt its chances.
Fallen - Adore Fallen. It's a beautiful song with stellar production and vocal arrangements (Mya is not given enough credit for her contributions on this album) Fallen was a safe choice single. Her label should've went with something more upbeat to keep the momentum. However, what's done is done. I prefer video version more as well.
Best Of Me - Arguably one of the better songs in the 2000's. One of Swizz Beatz better and finest productions as well. It doesn't sound like his usual run of the mill production. It still sounds fresh and current. Her flow and delivery is positively contagious. Her label really dropped the ball on this one and provided a weak set up for Fear of Flying. Always and forever will prefer this version over the remix,imho. Sidenote: Check out rapper Father's cover of this tune. His spin on it is dope. It's haunting and melancholy.
It's All About Me - Where it all began. A great introduction into the industry. Again, her in your face lyricism is an attention grabber. I'm so glad she's performing this song with Sisqo more often now. (Hoping BET let her perform this at the BET awards this year for the anniversary) This song as well Movin' On has resonated with so many R&B fans alike. There both R&B gems and classics.

I, like divasummer, didn’t get her first album until after Fear of Flying, and I didn’t actually know that this was a single. I thought Movin’ On was the lead and My First Night was the second (similar to how I thought Case of the Ex was the lead for Fear of Flying). So I actually didn’t pay this track much attention until years later. While I like it, I always found the chorus a bit too repetitive, and it reminds me of “No, No, No” by Destiny’s Child. (me—me-me-me-me, you-you-you-you-you = no-no-no-no-no, yes-yes-yes-yes-yes). What a top three, though! I’m gonna guess it will be 3. My Love is Like...Wo 2. Free 1. Case of the Ex but I’m okay with any order at this point!

As a reminder, here's your top-3! In which order do they go out? These three have the three lowest SD ranks of the whole rankdown with a 46 point difference between the 1 and the 3.

SD = Standard Deviation. The lower the standard deviation, the closer in agreement everyone was on the ranking of a particular song. For example: #3 has the second lowest SD of the entire rankdown! 18 people ranked it top-10 and NINE of those people ranked it top-3! The lowest ranking is 12! However, only ONE person ranked it #1. Any wild guesses?

I’d be shocked if Case of the Ex didn’t have multiple number one votes, so I’m guessing it’s one of the other two. I could see it being either, though!

"My Love Is Like...Wo" was the lead single released from Moodring. Written and produced by the legendary Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott (back when she still knew how to produce without the use of dusty samples #shadenoshade), the record peaked at #9 on Rhythmic, #13 on the Hot 100 and #17 on R&B while also crashing the top-40 in several international markets and giving Mýa her third solo UK R&B top-10 (#9).
Listen! If Mýa did nothing else with her career, she gave us this effortless and iconic SOLO slay that remains unparalleled to this day!!! She literally tap danced on these hoes!!! When will your fave?!

I’m killing it with these perfect scores. 😎
What a song! I’ll never forget the first time I heard the song/saw the video on MTV. I was at the beach with my family and the next day I got the CD single. (My dad wasn’t too fond of the lyrics lol). Then I went through a bit of a stan phase with Mya again in 2008 and had this as my MySpace song.
So odd to think this was pretty much her last major hit. Would’ve never seemed that way at the time.

63 points separate the #1 and #2 - these two were the most consistent in the battle for the top spot; 63 is the largest gap between them but they came as close as 8 points between the two. Something seemed off so I redid the math and confirmed that Wo! had the second lowest SD of the rankdown.
#2 has the third lowest SD with 19 top-10 rankings; the lowest rank for it is #16.
#1 has THE LOWEST SD with 21 top-10 rankings; the 1 person who didn't rank it in the top-10 put it at #14 (there's always one).
And the winner is..............
