"Don't Take It Personal" was Jermaine's second solo single to top the soul chart. Co-written and co-produced by David Conley and David Townsend of Surface. The irony! I don't remember Surface, but I definitely remember hearing DTIP constantly (to be fair, my dad had the album on cassette so that's probably why). 1989 was really the year of Surface, huh. But in retrospect, it was just the hook to DTIP that grabbed me; the verses are fine but not melodically the strongest. Peabo's vocal on Show and Tell is superb, but the production just pales greatly in comparison to the original. 80s songs had a tendency to wander into elevator-music territory. I had never heard of Oasis before this rankdown and it didn't make a strong impression on me on first listen. Chuckii recycled Turned Away's chorus chord progression when he produced Spread My Wings for Troop and that was an r&b #1 too. Chuckii said he was gonna get every last penny he could out of those chords lol. My only three predictions: - you kids on my lawn are gonna do my #2 dirty and I'm going to yell at all of you like the old ass auntie that I am when you do
- The Boys is bottom five, most likely last place even - none of the Surface songs will escape bottom 10 (ngl Surface has me confused...for it to be such a great year for them I have absolutely no recollection of their existence) EVERY ONE OF Y'ALL SORRY ASS HOES CAN KISS MY ASS!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT SHOW UP TO MY COOKOUT BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT GET A PLATE!!!!!!!!!!!

All Colonel Loud & Ricco Barrino did was sample Maze and Frankie Beverly, with California (We Are One) and this sampling Can't Get Over You:

"Can't Get Over You" is a jam but I couldn't justify it being higher than #13 because the some of the others are press conferences. CGOY is like a conversation. Sorry @antigonerising

That instrumental really just makes anything sound good. "Can't Get Over You" is a jam but I couldn't justify it being higher than #13 because the some of the others are press conferences. CGOY is like a conversation. Sorry @antigonerising A top 15 rank is respectable enough. You can have a hot dog and some potato salad. I peep the shade tho so just know that you smell like outdoors so you can't come in my house with your plate and I bet' not catch you trying to sneak off with any of the ribs, steak, or crab legs

I bought some ribs anyway marinated with that Bobbaaayyy Brown barbecue sauce. Depending on who made the potato salad, I might not want none.

Depending on who made the potato salad, I might not want none. resists urge to say 'so your ribs are laced with crack then' tbh the only reason I'm even offering you potato salad is because I don't eat it lol. I have no idea who makes the 'good' potato salad in my fam. On a serious note, I've made it to the top 20 with nine out of my top 10 intact, so I'm more than satisfied. I knew from the jump that CGOY was not going to make top 10 - there's a fair amount of 'filler' in this year but on the whole a lot of strong competition as well + CGOY is not the 'signature' Maze/Frankie Beverly and Maze song - so I'm mainly just bummed that it missed top 20 by only one spot. So close, yet so far away.

Today's extra was the lone Hot 100 entry for this late singer. Also peaking at #5 on the soul chart, it's considered her signature song.
Congratulations - Vesta Williams

Welcome back! We kick off the Top 20 with a song that has 4 Top 10s and 6 bottom 10s. Two people will get a perfect ranking.

I'm satisfied with where I placed it. I just can't get into this Prince track.

Well since Stephanie is out I'm rooting for two others...Miss You Much is a pop song which is why I ranked it a little low

Batdance is one of the most random things Prince has done and I’m actually shocked it made it this far. It definitely ranks dead last when it comes to his #1’s.
