Good start so far

After coming close in the April 2022 rankdown (finishing at #11), Allen Stone's third try is not the charm as his latest single, 5 Minutes, matches the placement of his 2021 collaboration with Alessia Cara (Bed I Made).

[HamedM1 💔]

Probably one of my least favorite R&B songs I've heard all year long

India.Arie's first entry in this series finishes with a resounding thud. Hi is taken from the supreme third edition of Robert Glasper's Grammy-Award winning Black Radio album series.

D.C. singer/songwriter Baby Rose's debut in this series comes up 18 points shy of a top-15 finish. After releasing her critically acclaimed debut album, To Myself, on Island, and serving as the opening act for Ari Lennox's Shea Butter Baby tour, Go marks her inaugural release on the Secretly Canadian label. Her sophomore album is expected early next year.

Allen Stone's "5 Minutes" has no business leaving this early...okay Pulse?

[bat1990]

Well! 4 of my bottom 5 out already!

I am sadly unsurprised India.Arie is out already, that song was quite short and felt more like an interlude, but I loved it anyway.

15. Ashanti - "Falling for You" (120 Points)

Ashanti's first entry in this series scooches into the top-15. Falling for You is the first single from either a new EP or her seventh album coming sometime in 2023.

14. Jazmine Sullivan - "Stand Up" (123 Points)

Stand Up becomes Jazmine's first entry as a lead artist to not finish inside the top-10. The song was written as the closing theme for Till, the 2022 biopic of Emmett Till's mother Mamie.

[HamedM1 💔]

This really felt like something any R&B girl could have made, its too generic for my liking.

ETA: That was about Ashanti but it fits my thoughts for Jazmine's song here which just is more so generic soundtrack song.

13. Coco Jones - "ICU" (131 Points)

Former teen star Coco Jones lands in the top-15 with ICU, the second single from her new EP, and first release for Def Jam, What I Didn't Tell You. You may recognize her from her co-starring role in Disney's 2012 film Let It Shine, her YouTube series with content creator Terrell Grice, T & Coco, or her current role as Hilary Banks in Bel-Air, Peacock's dramatic reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

[wrip]

nooo ICU deserved to make top 10! I haven’t listened to a lot from Coco Jones, but her voice is really impressive.

After finishing top-2 in the August rankdown, DUCKWRTH fails to sneak into the top-10 with Sneaky, an offering from his new Chrome Bull EP out now.

[HamedM1 💔]

Coco Jones is beautiful vocally but ICU didn't do much for me outside of those vocals.

11. Babyface x Ari Lennox - "Liquor" (140 Points)

The savages sniped out Ari as she winds up just 3 points short of a top-10 finish with Liquor, her contribution to Babyface's new concept album Girls Night Out.

[HamedM1 💔]

Sure this maybe admittedly is Ari Lennox on autopilot but its still Ari Lennox so I'm gonna eat it up.

Third time's the charm for Alex Vaughn as So Be It becomes her first entry to make the top-10. It's taken from her debut EP, The Hurtbook, out now.

Amen! She's got one of those voices where I'd listen to anything she sings and not complain.

[HamedM1 💔]

One of my favorite discoveries of this set, its growing on me with each listen.

[SHOOTER]

Where was this energy for Mirage tho!?
