2. "Love Will Never Do (Without You)"from Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989) "They said it wouldn't last // we had to prove 'em wrong."
If it's any consolation to those who wanted this to win, this song had the most individual #1 votes by far, with six. Seventeen out of twenty-seven voters had this in their top 10 as well. The seventh and last full-length single release from Rhythm Nation 1814, this song managed to be the album's 7th top 5 hit, and fourth #1 on the Hot 100 (her fifth overall). The iconic video was the start of an image shift for Janet, spending most of her first two blockbuster eras wearing non-revealing black and white outfits, the video showed Janet much more relaxed newer, sexier Janet. This re-invention would continue even further with the janet. era, but here is where it all started. The song was originally intended to be a duet with Prince, which is why Janet sings the first verse lower than the second verse. What else can be said about a seventh single that goes #1? An iconic song from one of the most iconic album eras of all time. Average: 9.63 Standard Deviation: 8.806

1. "If"from janet. (1993) "I've gotten there so many times // I wonder how 'bout you?"
Here it is, your #1 song. Funny enough, while "Love Will Never Do" had six #1 votes, this one only actually had one (congrats Unhinged ). But, almost half of you (13/27) had this song in your top five and all but five of you had this song in your top ten. "If" was the second single from janet., and while Janet had given a preview of just how sexual she would get with "That's the Way Love Goes", this song took things even further with both its lyrics and video. The song peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and video features one of Janet's most iconic dance routines, choreographed by Tina Landon. One of the things that makes the song stand out so much is that it is a blend of a bunch of different styles that works surprisingly well together (for instance, under "genre" on the song's Wikipedia page, trip hop, dance-pop, industrial rock, and new jack swing are all listed). The mix of styles makes for one of her most memorable and iconic hits. Remix recommendations: Brothers In Rhythm House Mix + D&D Adult 12" MixAverage: 8.778 Standard Deviation: 10.51 - Unhinged

Ah, so close, LWND! But I had a hard time deciding which song in my top 3 would be my #1, so it feels like my #1 won anyway, lol.
Thank you for hosting this Ginger!

YAS to IF at #1!!! That's an iconic song. It's such a great amalgamation of styles. Love the darkness and electric guitar that bring a rock attitude (ala Black cat and Scream), the strumming guitar that tones down the rock vibe, the marching dance vibe (ala Rhythm Nation), the freaking string sound that make it more epic, the more poppy and harmonious pre-chorus (ala Escapade). This could've easily been my #1 as well -but I guessed AFL needed some extra support around here Thanks Ginger for hosting! Super fun and informative :)

I never would have pegged If as the #1, and I didn't rank it super high although I do enjoy it. I'm not mad at it though. All the singles from Control through The Velvet Rope are really hard to rank.
