Mahalia's second single from her upcoming third album flips the 1999 Montell Jordan classic Get It On Tonite.

"I remember the first time hearing Montell Jordan’s [song] in ‘Save the Last Dance’ when I was a kid. It’s been a song that has made me wanna dance ever since and sampling it in ‘Whenever You’re Ready’ is really special to me. I had so much fun writing it with MNEK and Two Inch Punch. I was going through a breakup at the time and really wanted to capture this part of that process. It’s my new summer jam." - Mahalia (DIY, July 2021)

[#LisaRinna]

Ohh chile I'm winning!

[wrip]

I usually love Mahalia but this was kinda underwhelming imo

[Troublemaker]

I know I’m not the only one who thinks of this chorus when they see that title

The second song to spend its entire run in the top-10, this one does have ranks as high as #1 and only one in the bottom-5.

[back2blk]

Yeah Mahalia, no, that sample was too heavily borrowed.

I Can See the Future was the third promo single released from Tinashe's new future classic 333.

[back2blk]

Eeew. Sorry ya'll Tinashe does nothing for me. This sounds dated as hell, and is void of a hook.

One of only three songs to receive no bottom-5 ranks, this one misses out on a top-5 finish by just six points.

[CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker]

Oh this is absolutely about to hurt

[kimberly]

kicked this down 3 ranks 👀 I'm guessing it's my #14.

Protégés of the musical genius duo Louis York (a.k.a. iconic R&B songwriters Chuck Harmony and Claude Kelly), When You're Lonely is the third release from The Shindellas' impending debut album Hits That Stick Like Grits.

[back2blk]

Sorry to ask, what do the trajectory lists mean?

where each song was standing after your list was entered. so after the first four lists including yours (plus the host's I'm assuming) were entered into the results, The Shindellas were at #2.

[wrip]

1 3 4 10 11, i wasn’t sure how my #1 would do so i’m definitely happy to see it make the top five! i don’t expect it to win though haha

Very briefly a #1 contender, this is the second song to receive no bottom-5 ranks.

[kimberly]

3, 4, 6, 13, 14.

would love to see my #3, #4 or even #6 pull though. my #13 and #14 were also solid but slightly underwhelming releases imo.

Queer queen SYD gives us another taste of her sophomore solo album with Fast Car. Also the lead singer of The Internet (for those unaware), this is her second solo release this year. She, too, is also featured on Brittany Howard's Jaime Reimagined project with a new version of the song Baby.

[.indulgecountry]

The Shindellas are amazing. They're 2 for 2 with me cause I put them at #1 last month, too. Probably the strongest initial reaction I've had to a new RnB act I discovered since the 1-2 punch of "VSOP" and "Can't Raise a Man" that had me run out and buy K. Michelle's debut album. I am hyped for more music from them.

[#LisaRinna]

This Prince-esque beat on "Fast Car" is everything >>

This is our last song with no bottom-5 rankings. It would've needed 18 more points to secure a top-3 finish. Oh, and it has the LOWEST SD!

Steam was the third promotional release from Leon Bridges' third album, Gold-Diggers Sound, out now. This fared much better than its predecessor, Why Don't You Touch Me, which made it to #15 in last month's rankdown.

[Troublemaker]

Top 5 baby!

[bat1990]

^My reaction to "Fast Car" only making #5. You all got my hopes up just to dash them.
