only song not in my top 5 is "Where You Been Hiding" but I liked it a fair bit too

[HamedM1 💔]

Unloyal FTW

[back2blk]

I can't believe y'all put Billy Porter on top of Lucky Daye.

I can't believe y'all put Billy Porter at the top.

That song was a mess.

[Ty]

I don't see the appeal of this Autumn girl.

That song was BOP is what it was. Glad it made it to the top half at least, which is better than I expected.

[𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕓𝕤]

“Where You Been Hiding” was my fave discovery, great hook, great emotion, great voice…

[Ty]

FKA Twig is the epitome of an overhyped singer.

[HamedM1 💔]

Pulse really be the kind of place to drag experimental FKA and then when she releases a more standard mainstream appealing single y'all don't like that either lol

[singingrulebritannia]

Ain't her fault that most of these girls at their strongest aren't as captivating as Twigs at her weakest

They're always going straight to the top for me, but I'm happy with a number 3 too. These boys just got it so right with this project.

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.

well, I almost got the Top 3 right it appears 

I don't have a strong preference between "I Hate U" and "Unloyal" winning this tbh, but I guess my last.fm receipts would indicate I should cheer for SZA.

[SHOOTER]

With seven #1s and three bottom-5s between them, 3rd-lowest vs. 7th-highest SD, the winner is...

SZA Hates U 2
LBTrocks : 12
Soulsista : 14

I Hate U is the third taste of SZA's sophomore album that TDE continues to hold hostage. Originally a SoundCloud upload in August 2021, fan demand pushed them to release it officially on DSPs last month. It's currently SZA's fifth top-10 smash on the Hot 100 (#7) and her second #1 hit on the R&B Songs chart (where the song debuted upon its release).

As you can see, they tied in points and I was torn on how to break it since SZA had more #1s but SummAri only had the one bottom-5 rank. So I decided they could share the first official tie of this series! Sorry to Soulsista for the abysmal outcome.
