How is "Unpretty" so low?!?!? Both that and "Diggin' On You" should at least be higher than "Baby-Baby-Baby"

3. "Waterfalls"from CrazySexyCool (1994)"Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to."Released as the third single from the CrazySexyCool, "Waterfalls" was an instant hit and would eventually become TLC's signature song. The track, which features lyrics warning about the dangers of drug dealing and unsafe sex, is perhaps most remembered for its video. The video showcased the stories written in the lyrics of the song, as well as the now iconic image of T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli standing on water. The song was a huge hit, being their longest running #1, with seven weeks on the top spot. It has earned many accolades and has been on many "best-of" lists over the years, including being #8 on VH1's Greatest Songs of the '90s, and #10 on Billboard's 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time. As I stated in the previous commentary, this almost didn't even make top 3. In fact, it was never #1. It started off at #2, and went back and forth with the current #2 for most of the voting period, before eventually falling to #4, then being knocked back into the top 3 by Wavey✨️ .

What?! There's hope for Creep to take it all!
I do like Waterfalls though. It's a good song I feel is a tiny bit overrated but it was such a smash it deserved to be at least top 5.

Thank f**k that Beckyfalls isn't taking it.
The top 2 is my top 2, so I can't complain, even though there's a clear superior.

Please let this be the one rankdown involving TLC songs where Waterfalls doesn't end up the highest. You already know that's about to go to down. I just hope 2-10 ain't a total s**t show. YOU AIN'T EVEN FIGHTING THE FIGHT THO SHOOTER!

What About Your Friends should have been top 5 but otherwise this looks good.
Great top 2!
Not here for Waterfalls hate/facetious tanking but #3 makes sense.
Get it Creep!

2. "No Scrubs"from FanMail (1999)"A scrub is a guy who can't get no love from me."While "Silly Ho" was the first taste of new TLC music after their four year hiatus, "No Scrubs" was the full-fledged reintroduction to TLC, including a big-budget music video based off of Michael & Janet Jackson's "Scream," that was destined for major MTV airtime. The futuristic aesthetic of the video and album imagery resonated with music listeners, and the song would go on to spend four weeks at #1 on the Hot 100, becoming rival to "Waterfalls" for the title of TLC's signature song. Even before the music video was out, the success of the song (along with the hype of TLC returning) was able to launch FanMail right to the #1 spot in late February 1999. The #24 score on "Waterfalls" and the #30 score here kind of cancelled each other out, and by the end neither would've beaten "Creep," even without the low scores. As a consolation, "No Scrubs" did have the highest amount of #1's. Average: 5.2 Standard Deviation: 5.9721 - Baby Spice 1 - mamooshka 1 - thelegends 1 - Ty 1 - sergejdordij 1 - .indulgecountry 2 - jtd Thee Stallion 2 - Glove Slap 3 - bat1990 3 - SHOOTER 3 - Zinc. 3 - #LisaRinna 4 - newpower 4 - Relaxing Cup 4 - Kanenrá:ke 4 - Troublemaker 5 - tinawina 6 - B-Boy 6 - Wavey✨️ 7 - Linnethia Monique 8 - God 8 - castleoblivion26 10 - @antigonerising 12 - jenglisbe 30 - aerodynamite Albie

1. "Creep"from CrazySexyCool (1994)"If he knew the things I did, he couldn't handle it."Here it is, your winner! "Creep" was the lead single from CrazySexyCool, and it was the moment that they established themselves as R&B royalty. The song and video showed a more mature side to the group compared to the juvenile nature of their first album. The video had the group in colorful silk pajamas, one of their most iconic looks. Left Eye infamously hated the song, stating that she did not agree with the message that you should cheat back if you are getting cheated on. Still, the song was the group's first of four #1's on the Billboard Hot 100 and proved to be the perfect way to launch the CrazySexyCool album. From about the fifth or sixth ballot, it was clear that this was going to be the winner. It kept an average of just over 3 most of the voting period (compared to 5.2 for #2), and is the only song that everyone placed in their top 10, with 22 of the 25 votes being top 5 (including 5 #1's). Average: 3.16 Standard Deviation: 1.931 - bat1990 1 - God 1 - Zinc. 1 - Glove Slap 1 - tinawina 2 - newpower 2 - sergejdordij 2 - SHOOTER 2 - @antigonerising 2 - Linnethia Monique 3 - Ty 3 - aerodynamite 3 - jtd Thee Stallion 3 - Relaxing Cup 3 - Kanenrá:ke 3 - Wavey✨️ 4 - Baby Spice 4 - mamooshka 4 - jenglisbe 4 - B-Boy 4 - castleoblivion26 4 - #LisaRinna 6 - Troublemaker 8 - thelegends 8 - .indulgecountry Albie

My list was wrong and I caught it too late and Ginger was being difficult and wouldn't change it but I was also told the top-3 wouldn't have changed no matter my order so there's that. :sip2: Beautiful top-3 regardless! Thanks for hosting Baby Spice

Great rankdown! I got the Top 3 in completely wrong order, but that was due to my perception that "No Scrubs" and "Waterfalls" have left more cultural heritage. Glad to see "Creep" received unanimous love - in a rankdown of this scope and number of participants, quite a feat to have been in everyone's Top 8.

I was actually nervous there for a second. I certainly did not expect such a wide margin of victory (or all top 8 ranks) for Creep! Congrats!

^ I second that. I've been listening to the top 15 of my list nonstop in the past three days. The rankdown only slightly make me bitter because "Turtables" and "Meant to Be" deserved better!
