Meant to Be is a great, moving song.
Honestly I wouldn't mind if this was their very last release.

I feel like MTB was liked so much because it came at the end of a very satisfying biopic, but when I went back and listened to it after the glow had worn off it really wasn’t that standout of a song.

Love the message and chorus of "Meant To Be". Ne Yo did a wonderful job.
I especially love Chili's parts. Honestly, this is pretty fucked up to go out like this.

Meant to Be is a great, moving song. Honestly I wouldn't mind if this was their very last release. I would've been completely satisfied with Way Back being a standalone single as their grand finale.

23. "In Your Arms Tonight"from 3D (2002)"Today there was no rain // so we enjoy it just because.""In Your Arms Tonight" is a Neptunes-produced album track from the 3D album. (@antigonerising pointed out that the song reminded her of a Pharrell production that she couldn't put her finger on - not surprising considering The Neptunes really stuck to their signature production style here). The song was never a single, but at the time was considered a fan favorite and possibly a better single choice than the Babyface-produced "Hands Up". Over time, TLC must have agreed with this sentiment because they seem to have forgotten all about "Hands Up", but have opted to include this on some of their compilations instead, including Now & Forever - The Hits. This song is a favorite of Wavey✨️ , and with that we have our first #1 casualty of this rankdown. Average: 21.6 Standard Deviation: 5.7371 - Wavey✨️ 14 - Relaxing Cup 16 - SHOOTER 18 - thelegends 18 - @antigonerising 19 - Ty 19 - Linnethia Monique 20 - Baby Spice 20 - tinawina 22 - aerodynamite 23 - jenglisbe 23 - sergejdordij 23 - .indulgecountry 23 - castleoblivion26 23 - #LisaRinna 23 - Kanenrá:ke 24 - bat1990 24 - mamooshka 24 - Troublemaker 25 - B-Boy 25 - Glove Slap 27 - jtd Thee Stallion 28 - God 29 - newpower 29 - Zinc.

Lol #1 is kind of funny tho.
I love IYAT and most of the 3D album. “Give It To Me While It’s Hot” may or may not have made my top ten if it were included, despite left eyes mix match rap.

(@antigonerising pointed out that the song reminded her of a Pharrell production that she couldn't put her finger on - not surprising considering The Neptunes really stuck to their signature production style here). It's a slowed down cross between Jay-Z's I Just Wanna Love U and Babyface's There She Goes. It took me far too long to figure that out.

Our next cut will see one of the '90s albums taking its first loss. The song has one of the highest standard deviations, with rankings ranging from a top 3 placement to several last place spots.

22. "Dear Lie"from FanMail (1999)"Afraid the truth would hurt me // when it's you that hurts me more."The third official single from FanMail (fifth overall counting promo singles), "Dear Lie" was pretty much doomed from the start. Following two #1's in the US, the single stalled at #55 on the charts and the video release was shelved domestically, as TLC were not happy with it. Being a pretty big TLC fan as a kid, I didn't even know this song was a single. It was on Totally Hits 2, but I assumed it was just a random album track inclusion. Chilli has since stated that she was not sure why the label chose this song as a single. As much as I like this song, I have to agree that it was a horrible single choice. I would've preferred a full release of "Silly Ho" or "I'm Good At Being Bad" for the sake of getting videos. I once read a theory that after all the disputes between TLC and LaFace, combined with the success of "Unpretty", LaFace decided to drop all efforts to promote the album to TLC's core urban fan base and only focus on a pop audience, which might explain this odd single choice. Average: 19.2 Standard Deviation: 7.2342 - castleoblivion26 7 - Kanenrá:ke 11 - Baby Spice 11 - Troublemaker 12 - Zinc. 14 - mamooshka 15 - Linnethia Monique 15 - #LisaRinna 18 - aerodynamite 18 - jtd Thee Stallion 18 - Relaxing Cup 19 - bat1990 19 - newpower 20 - .indulgecountry 21 - jenglisbe 21 - tinawina 22 - Glove Slap 23 - Wavey✨️ 26 - Ty 26 - sergejdordij 26 - B-Boy 27 - God 29 - thelegends 30 - SHOOTER 30 - @antigonerising

I don't know why I had "Dear Lie" where I did. I prefer "In Your Arms Tonight" and should have switched them. Ugh, oh well.

In Your Arms Tonight always reminded me of Mary's Steal Away. Idk about #1 :oprah: but it's definitely one of their best deep cuts!
Dear Lie is trash! Always has been and will be! Come on Down should've been a single over that but I know there was no way TWO Chilli-led records were gonna be singles.
Turntable always makes me sentimental. I love it for what it was.

In Your Arms Tonight is reminiscent of a cut off of Latrelle's unreleased album (RIP to the great The Neptunes productions on this). It was definitely a highlight off that album.

I don't even remember ever hearing Dear Lie once. It was just NS and Unpretty dominating for a whole year, and then nothing.

Silly Ho got a lot of airplay too but once No Scrubs came out they purged it quickly. I'm really pissed at how high I put it now. Come On Down should've been a single instead.

What are you guys talking about "Come On Down" needing to be a single? The obvious follow up singles from Fanmail were Shout and My Life. COD = so bland.

I've always wondered how Fanmail would have turned out if they got Timbaland to helm the album instead of having Dallas channel him (and Kevin Briggs took his whole shtick off Timbo too so that goes without saying) because so much of it has his influence imbued in.

I'm still semi-convinced that Dallas Austin was trying to push Chilli to the front by giving her the standout single of that era. No comment on what should have been the single to follow Unpretty, but Dear Lie sure as hell was not it.
