Maybe if she called it Babydaddy, some of you ratchet hoes that listen to Bhad Barbie would have liked it better. Good Top 20 though! All her classics are still in.

Let's reprise reveals and let's get into this top 20!
Despite being mildly loved, this track still got a #26 rank and will bring one lucky perfect ranking with its reveal. |

Here I am
So don't leave me stranded
On the end of a line
Hanging on the edge of a lieReleased as a promotional single for the Lovers Live CD/DVD, "Somebody Already Broke My Heart" was already part of the Lovers Rock album. As a single it didn't do much commercially, but it became an epitome of Sade's transition into a new era for their music and sound and for the new millenium. 20. Somebody Already Broke My Heart

The next song is a title-track which will make someone lose their #2 and bring a perfect ranking to someone else. |

I was the one
I who could, pull in all the stars above
Lay them on your feet, and I gave you my loveThe epic opening track from Soldier of Love really sets the tone for what feels like mostly a somber record. "The Moon and the Sky" was the 3rd single released from the album and failed to make a dent commercially. It returned a year later in a remixed version featuring Jay-Z to promote The Ultimate Collection. You were asked to rank either the original or remix version and, well, only two of you when asked said you'd chosen the remix lol. 18. The Moon and the Sky

The next song wasn't a single, but it's very beloved regardless. So beloved that it bears a #1 loss, the first for this rankdown.  |

She lives in a world she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes"Pearls" was one of the album tracks on Love Deluxe. While never released commercially, in time it has become a staple in their concert setlists and was even included in their first hits collection. The theme of the song is very strong, dealing with poverty in Africa and the duality between the Western lifestyle and that of third world countries, where people struggle to live. 17. Pearls

Last reveal for the day. This has always been one of my favorites.
Once again, everybody misses out on a perfect ranking, but two of you will lose one of their top 5s. |

I liked the TMATS remix when her greatest hits dropped. After I heard the original some months later, I didn’t care for it anymore.

It's such a haunting, deep song. The "hallelujah, hallelujah" bridge still gets me everytime. |

The Moon and the Sky is up there with their best, but I can't stand the remix.
Feel No Pain was the first Sade song to click with me, although I would go on to like the other singles from the album more. I always thought it was odd that it was excluded from The Best of Sade (which included some non-singles instead), but the album cover was literally taken from the video.

26. The big unknown (21)
25. Still in love with you (20)
24. Haunt me (24)
The songs in my 26-20 were pretty close to each other for me. In the end I preferred the melody, including that slick guitar and percussion combo as well as harmonies of SILWY. I liked HM’s Spanish guitar quite a bit but was hoping the melody of the singing parts were a bit more interesting. TBU was the only song of this trio that wasn’t a first listen.
23. When Am I Going To Make A Living (11): my favorite discovery in this RD. Loved the catchy pop sound and the hice harmonies especially in the chorus.
22. Babyfather (9): with time this became my favorite song off SoL. The more reggae, Caribbean flavor is a big plus, as is the cutesy vibe and lyrics that put a smile in my face :)
21. Turn My Back On You (22): very nice bass and instrumentation... as with HM, I just wish the main vocal melody were a bit stronger.

Somebody Already Broke My Heart will always be a gem in her catalogue.
Lovers Rock is beyond beautiful both from a production standpoint and vocally.
No matter how many times I listen to Pearls, it still resonates with me
Now with Feel No Pain, you almost forget she’s singing because the story means a lot (especially in a time like now) UNTIL she yells. "Do you ever see a man breakdown"
