You and I was the third single released from Swedish singer/songwriter LÉON's self-titled debut album that was finally released independently in March 2019 after spending two years on Columbia's roster. It peaked at #68 in her home country but had a much better showing here and is easily the most surprising top-10 finish for me.

[Fire]

Well RIP my top 10. At least I got a perfect ranking.

[Leo ✔]

LEON deserved top 5

[SHOOTER]

#6 needed 18 more points for a top-5 finish so it has to settle here with the 19th-highest SD. 8 people placed it top-10 finish while just one person has it in their bottom-10.

Go ahead, explore the island vibes
So real that you can feel it in the air

Asshole in Alaska
Albie : 49

Harleys in Hawaii was a promo single released by KP in October 2019 with no intention of it ever being pushed as an official single because somehow she and everyone at Capitol Records thought Small Talk and its accompanying dog show was the smash to invest all of the money and effort in! It's March 2020 and I'm still upset! But also happy this made the top-10 in the end.

[fearlessarrow]

I cannot at “asshole in Alaska”

[Fire]

This didn't feel like something that could smash. It's alright enough but kinda overrated tbh

[SHOOTER]

Shooter's Fresh 52 of 2019 (Top-5)

[.indulgecountry]

"Harleys in Hawaii" is the best single she's given us since at least "Dark Horse" imo. I loooove this one. That pre-chorus and chorus are IT.

[.indulgecountry]

Taking a stab at top 5 predictions for funsies:

1. Juice
2. Blank Marquee
3. Motivation
4. a lot
5. Say So

Nah, Meghan slays in this as well.

[singingrulebritannia]

Shocked and happy "A Lot" could make top 5 among a participant pool that usually is firmly biased against gangster/""""mumble"""" rappers

[wrip]

You and I deserved top five -_-

[taylor is terrified]

Why that's right I AM a broke bitch!

Also just noticed this...not the country posters basically being the Top 10 for "It All Comes Out in the Wash" 

Nice to have a couple perfect rankings in this set!

Rooting for "Juice"!!

[SHOOTER]

Time to wrap it up!!

#5 has the 25th-highest SD. As you can see, it was a top-2 contender for quite a long time and got a lot of top-10 support (9 ranks total). There's only two ranks for it in the bottom-10 but the lower half ranks in general were just enough to drag it down to a top-5 finish.

Not Much
Fire : 45
.indulgecountry : 46

a lot was the lead single released in January 2019 from 21 Savage's sophomore album I Am > I Was. With some assistance from J. Cole, the song tied with Bank Account as his biggest hit on the charts (both peaked at #12 on the Hot 100 and #4 on Hot Rap Songs); it also earned the duo both their first Grammy wins in 2020 for Best Rap Song. And, yes, he still likes hot sauce on his chicken.

[LBTrocks]

"a lot" is a jam. It made it high enough tho lol.

[fearlessarrow]

Hearing "A Lot" for different year-end RDs have made it grow on me.

[Leo ✔]

I liked this more than I expected.

[SHOOTER]

#4 has the 21st-highest SD and finishes at its peak with TEN top-10 rankings vs. two bottom-10s.

It's getting hard for me to hold my own

So I'm trying my best not to overreact
But I need to know right now, no lies, just facts...

Say Less

Say So was originally a solo standalone single by singer/songwriter/Maroon 5 keyboardist PJ Morton that he reworked into a duet with JoJo and used as the lead single from his 6th solo album READY. The song eventually became his first top-10 hit on the Adult R&B chart and earned him his second Grammy in 2020 for Best R&B Song (contrary to Twitter belief, JoJo was not a songwriter on the record so she, unfortunately, did not receive a credited win but I do believe she gets a shiny certificate for performing on a Grammy-award winning song).

Fun fact: this also made it to #4 on the 2019 Adult R&B Rankdown!

[fearlessarrow]

Wait a second... this means my top 3 IS the top three! WHAT OMG how basic of me

[SHOOTER]

Although #3 hung in there tough, it would've needed 84 points to secure a top-2 finish! It leaves us with the 13th-lowest SD, 8 top-10s and just 1 person who felt it was bottom-10 worthy.

This is hard... I feel like "Motivation" seems like the first one to go out of the remaining three. "Juice" is probably a lock for the top two at this point (and most likely the winner); not sure about "Blank Marquee" but I can see that one being more favored since "Motivation" seems more 'basic'.

[SHOOTER]

Look into the mirror, try and see it clearer
You should be reflecting on all of your decisions
You're the type of person to use up my affection, yeah
You should ask yourself...

Straight-to-DVD
taylor is terrified : 46

Blank Marquee was released in May 2019 as the lead single from Yuna's fourth album Rouge. It became her third top-20 hit on the Adult R&B chart, peaking at #17, and comes close but doesn't quite gain enough support to win a second RD; it was the runner-up for the 2019 Adult R&B Rankdown.
