Ew. RTB is way too high. It's not even in my top5 from the red album. That ranking is a mess. Are you mad because nobody likes your stroke?! Weak My little ass was in middle school playing this out not knowing what the hell she was talking about. This could be released today and still be a hit because it has this classic groove to it and the production is so impeccable. And that bridge! BITCH! THAT BRIDGE IS A MONSTER! Stroke it for me Stroke it baby, stroke it baby Mmmm, work it baby, work it baby Oooh stroke It There is somethin' I want you to do I need you to use yourself Like you never ever used to do before To explore my body Until you reach the shore You’ll be calling, calling for moreThe vocal layers, the background vocals, the coo'ing that reaches that climax with the angelic falsetto etc. just makes this song euphoric. When she hits that cha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hange! run I feel the spirit go through my body.

Here are the tidbits about your top 2, in chronological order. (This is mostly so the formatting of the reveal post will look nicer) {Are You That Somebody?} This single is a case of a soundtrack song becoming more enduring than the film from which it came. Released as the single from the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack, the song was a massive hit and took on a life of its own. According to Timbaland, Aaliyah was not originally a fan of the song. But he and Static Major convinced her otherwise and they recorded the track late at night in a few hours through sunrise in order to make the deadline. US | 21 | US Airplay | 4 | US R&B Airplay | 1 | US Rhythmic | 1 | Canada | 11 | New Zealand | 1 | Europe | 60 | UK | 11 | Netherlands | 3 | Flanders | 42 | Wallonia | 40 | Germany | 31 | Switzerland | 41 |
{Try Again} The lead single from the Romeo Must Die soundtrack is unarguably Aaliyah's biggest hit. It charted in nearly every country with a singles chart and became the first single to top the Billboard Hot 100 with all of its points coming solely from airplay. That is truly a feat considering single sales still held some sway at the time. At the beginning of the song, Timbaland raps the opening verse to Eric B & Rakim's "I Know You Got Soul." Aaliyah's costar Jet Li appears in the video. (Also, I detest her eye makeup in the video, it makes her look unlike herself.) US | 1(1) | US R&B | 4 | US Rhythmic | 1 | Australia | 8 | New Zealand | 13 | Europe | 6 | UK | 5 | Netherlands | 3 | Flanders | 6 | Wallonia | 5 | Germany | 5 | Austria | 19 | Switzerland | 8 | France | 26 | Sweden | 15 | Norway | 5 | Italy | 19 |

Let's finish this...
The number one was a blowout. It had no competition whatsoever.

Such a predictable top two, but I'm glad the (slightly) superior song won out.

It’s an alright song but I prefer the majority of her singles over it.

I would’ve been fine with either song being #1.

Lowkey happy 'Try Again' didn't win, just because it was my #1 didn't mean it should have been the #1 (which is also why I was salty about WNAR out at #5).

Thank you all for participating!
@drag27 is the only who can legitimately complain about the #1. The rest of us all put it in the top 10 (or #11).

After seeing how this panned out and going over my rankings, my only real regret was not ranking One In A Million a tad higher. I ranked it @ #9 and feel like I should've put it just outside my top 5 at 6 or 7. My top 5 was pretty set in stone though.
