Why cant I see the ranks? Because Aero didn't include them. :sip2: Probably saving them for the post-reveal.

Makes Me Wonder: This was a great funk song from an ex-funk band. I do miss the days when Maroon 5 were an actual band, and not just Adam Levine and 5 other guys. This was their first ever #1 hit, and it can tell why. The production is some of the best funk production of it's time, Adam's angst is not even all that bothersome either. This is a great song, one of the bests.
Umbrella: Do I need to say anything about this, this is pop perfection. It's Rihanna's best and it's easy to see why. Jay-Z's intro is the perfect hype, and Rihanna's backing vocals during that are also amazing. The production is the best for a Rihanna song, it's the perfect dark and edgy 2007 pop/R&B song, almost better than Irreplaceable. Rihanna's vocals are the highlight, never off-key. And the production, and that chorus is the most catchy and earwormy type of pop/R&B since Fantasy back in 1995. And those eh eh's are not even all that bad. This is, and will always be Rihanna's best song for me.

Wouldn't say 2007 was not among the best of years for pop, but "Umbrella" was easily among the best of a weak crop. A truly deserving winner.

5. U + Ur Hand - It's a decent Pink song, but not close to her best imo. 4. Before He Cheats - Was an easy pick for #1. Such a great song. Happy with how high it placed. 3. The Sweet Escape - Great song too, Well-deserved Top 3. I was hoping it could make the Top 2. So it's my #7 vs #8. 2. Makes Me Wonder - It's a good song, but there's just something that's missing from it. Maybe it's his vocals idk. 1. Umbrella - Not surprised that it's the winner. It's a good song, but I don't think it's Rihanna's best one (I much prefer Disturbia over it).
Thanks for hosting aero!

I expected umbrella being number 1, but MMW hitting number 2 is actually kinda shocking to me.

Umbrella is an ok song ...I like the instrumentation but the not the tone-deaf "eh, eh, eh" part
all that stuttering (ella ella ella & eh eh eh) is just a mask for lazy songwriting ... a decent songwriter would find a way to fill all the lines with real words ... granted this happens a lot in other songs but that doesn't excuse the laziness

That's the hook of the song and I can't even imagine it being half as catchy if they'd just stopped after the word "umbrella" and not added the "ella ella eh eh" part after it. Like that's the best & catchiest part of the song, lmao.
