The next two songs tied, and each have a #1 rank attached, so this one gets the #10 slot due to it having more bottom-5s (six total; 6th-highest SD).

Children
DRIVE
I Hate U

Where You Been Hiding

[back2blk]

Pink should have been higher y’all

[kimberly]

I wanted to do this but life got in the way. Rooting for "I Hate U" (obviously—see my status) but also hope to see "Unloyal" and "Tears in the Club" do well.

[Ty]

I like "Gangster of Love" but this one doesn't quite cut it. I'll check out her debut album though.

Midnight Snacks is a standalone single Kelis dropped late last year as she began work on what will be her seventh studio album. A 'treat' for her fans, she said she wanted to release something letting them know she was headed in a beat-driven direction for her next record, compared to the live band sound that she explored on 2014's Food. She has yet to confirm or deny if she will reunite with The Neptunes for the project.

Yeah, this was really horrible and sooo weak. I did not like it one bit. What was she thinking when she put this out??? Glad I wasn't alone on this. 😬 It really boggles my mind that it was ranked ahead of Poison and Good Morning Gorgeous. They at least sounded more decent than that trash.

Including me, bwahaha

When they release sub-par material, we let them KNOW

[bat1990]

Shame on those "Rich Kids" rankings!! That one made me sit up and take notice after some snoozefests.

[newpower]

Rich Kids was my favorite discovery.

Children was Billy Porter's first release after announcing a new record deal with Republic Records (and Island in the U.K.). It's his first major label release since his self-titled debut in 1997 which produced the top-20 Adult R&B hit Show Me.

this wasn't too bad, it just felt more overwhelming than I thought it needed to be

I liked this for the first half but it started to feel repetitive after a while
