I wasn't sure if Tyla's "Been Thinking" would show up, though I don't know when that actually came out vs when it started charting on radio.

I done told y'all to send me suggestions if you want something included.

It came out in January but her song is also classified as 'Pop' on DSPs which means it has never popped up in any of the R&B playlists I check regularly (and I don't listen to the radio).

I'm okay with it being a bonus cut as we wait for the lists to trickle in. It's very danceable.

"Five Star Hotel." better f'ing pull it off!

[SHOOTER]

Ain't got no baby momma beef
I know what's good with me
It's true, shit get hot in the spotlight
But I believe in you, I believe in you and me...

Rain to sea, fire and ice, lock and key

Gimme was so bad I'm sorry...

Waste My Time though is such a jam, I've been so obsessed with it lately
