SLAY! The cup is playing hard to catch, but I know he is doing it. As for the R&B gerls... what can ya say? Some of them don't do rankdowns. I will do this one, but only because I like you. Alright now!

I'm doing this now. Expect it in an hour or two. By the way, now I know who inspired Toni Braxton.

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted a list! I never would've expected such an amazing turn out for this rankdown and I'm very proud of this debut for #Rinna2020 and the R&B Divas Series. I can't wait to start the reveals (aiming for tomorrow)!

In the meantime... let's have a little prediction questionnaire, shall we?
1. Which songs will make the top 5? 2. Which ones are going to be in the bottom 5? 3. Which song will have the highest SD? 4. Which song will have the lowest SD? 5. Will the Rapture album end up dominating the top?

Hello and welcome to the Anita Baker Rankdown reveals!
I'd like to start this moment by revisiting the marvelous Anita Baker tribute put together by the Soul Train Awards, with numerous R&B starlets paying tribute to the Queen of Quiet Storm, with impeccable renditions of her classics.
Here's also a reminder of the 25 tracks you were asked to rank:
No More Tears Will You Be Mine Angel You're the Best Thing Yet Feel the Need Sweet Love Caught up in the Rapture Same Ole Love You Bring Me Joy No One in the World Been So Long Giving You the Best That I Got Just Because Lead Me Into Love Good Love Talk to Me Soul Inspiration Fairy Tales Body and Soul I Apologize It's Been You You're My Everything How Does It Feel Serious Lately

The last track on our list was basically universally panned lol It was #25 by a large margin and it wouldn't have stood a chance even if it had got one top 10 rank.

My #25 is the only song on this list that I would dare 'pan,' so I'm going to guess it's that one.

With our next reveal, two people lose a top 10. Thanks to these two top 10s it got, the #24 song was able to escape being the bottom of the barrell with a 52 points margin.

Tragic start. Y'all don't deserve "Serious"-ness and I knew it.

The next song sees three more top 10 losses, including a top 2!
Who could it be??

Next up at #22 one participant loses another top 10! This song got a #25 rank unlike the one that came before, but it had a more stable run.

Three top 10 rankings and yet only ONE point separated this next song from the one at #22.
Let's find out which one it is!

I'm gonna leave you with this beautiful deep cut that didn't make the rankdown. It's a sultry cover of Carly Simon's "You Belong to Me" recorded for the Rhythm of Love album:
