Strong set of reveals in that group, (Tell Me, Red Light Special, NO MORE I LOVE YOUS!!!, 100% Pure Love) though I Wish feels particularly out of place. I enjoy the song well enough but it always felt like a bit of a novelty song to me.
I also always feel so off about ranking hip-hop classics like Big Poppa so low. I know it's wrong and recognize that they're classics and a huge part of the 90s but where I group up, rap wasn't really huge so if it didn't make Casey's Top 40, I likely didn't hear it much until much later. And because how I experienced the period between 94-97ish is so engrained in me, it's hard for songs that weren't originally part of that time for me to outdo a lot of the songs that were, and 1995 (and 94) are both years that I am SUPER fond of so there's a lot of competition in the nostalgia department.
Strong list for the top 15 too. I'm pleasantly surprised Natalie Merchant is still in. I know both rock and R&B fans like to say Pulse is biased against those genres, but I think the less 'hip' singer/songwriter artists are underappreciated so I'm glad to see Carnival make it this far, even if it ends up going out at 15.
With my top 2 (at least) out, I'm rooting most for Freak Like Me, I Know and Secret, with fingers crossed for strong showings for Rhythm of the Night, Creep, Scream and Gangsta's Paradise. I'm still burnt out on Fantasy, This Is How We Do It and Waterfalls - and I still find it strange that Pulse loves Kiss From A Rose as much as it does.

Wow! I know 1995's year-end list was better than that of 1994, but it's still hard to believe two of the songs that placed in the previous year's top ten didn't even make it into the top twenty here... 25. "Another Night" [5]: How did this do so much worse? I certainly didn't expect it to repeat in the top 10, but it definitely deserved at least top 20. Myself and Max were now the only top-ten ranks, too... And I definitely didn't think this would be my second top-ten out. 24. "You Don't Know How It Feels" [81]: Sweet, that was, by far, my lowest rank remaining. It was fine enough, but didn't do much for me. I could have probably put it just a bit higher, though. 23. "Tell Me" [56]": Nice, my other lowest remaining rank! With that said, though, I still enjoyed this (and the other remaining songs) very much! The vocals are definitely on point! 22. "100% Pure Love" [26]: Like "All I Wanna Do", this also grew on me, only for it to do that much worse in this rankdown than in the 1994 one. :( But I suppose it makes sense, given that gabingston and Anthony did not participate in 1994. 21. "Big Poppa" [19]: Damn, I thought this would be higher! Not his best song, but still quite memorable and iconic, and a great song! 20. "I'll Be There For You/You're All I Need To Get By" [23]: I listened to what I believe was the P. Diddy remix of this, and I found that one to be very well produced. The rapping and chorus are really good, too! 19. "No More I Love You's" [47]: This just slid further and further down my ranks as I heard more songs. I know Lennox is considered a legend, and I can definitely see why, but something about this song, to me, just feels a little...off? I still was as generous as I could be with my rank, since I appreciate it for what it is. 18. "I Wish" [6]: I guess I can't complain about this one, since it did a bit better than I could have expected. As I said, it goes to show that you don't need vulgar lyrics or an overly sexualized music video to make a great hip-hop song. And I'll remember that 106 rank. glares17. "Red Light Special" [19]: Well, I'll say that this is the correct TLC song to be the first out. Unfortunate that it didn't even get 1 week at #1, though. It could have been an excellent hat-trick for TLC that year. 16. "You Gotta Be" [41]: Not much I can say, other than this being a very pleasant first listen. Though it did grow on me a lot, I'm still hoping "Scream" misses the top ten, simply because of how much better the other songs are.

Except for Montell Jordan who overstayed, that's a great Top 15. Surprised that Natalie Merchant made it to the top 15, but not complaining (I love the whole Tigerlily album, one of my favorites from the 90s). It's not clear for me what song would end up winning ... maybe a TLC song or Mariah?

How is “Take A Bow” still in? Not for long, it won't! No idea if it will make the Top 10 at all but you'll all hate me for where I placed it. Consider it to be vengeance for Big Poppa missing the Top 10.

24 (75): Not anywhere near my favourite Tom Petty, but in hindsight I might've underranked this a bit.
23 (34): This actually did a lot better than I thought it would and I'm glad it did, it's a great song.
25 (71)/22 (69): Both ok dance songs.
21 (24)/17 (19): Both great songs, '90s classics and I'm glad they ranked as highly as they did.
20 (4): One of the greatest love songs in hip-hop and a song I didn't realize I loved so much until doing this rankdown.
19 (90): Not bad at all, I just was never able to get into it.
18 (47)/16 (61): Both good songs that I don't go back to very often.

When I first looked at the list I thought I'd have The Rhythm of the Night higher, but I realized a lot of these songs I had already known and loved. Still happy to see it make it so far

I think this is the most I've enjoyed a 2Pac song.
