Sent! My #1 is an underdog I genuinely love more than the obvious juggernauts on the list.
Tbh, I’d be fine with an all- female top 10 here but I know that’s a real long shot. Can’t wait.

Janet's is easy in that The Pleasure Principle is the only one on the list from Janet that isn't a household name Since the one I ranked lowest for Michael isn't out for a while, unfortunately I think TWYMMF will be first out, but I swear if Rock Wit You is out first I will cut somebody  |

I wanted to put operator at #50 but I changed my mind & settled at #45. Either way I'm not sad Operator it's the first song that is gone.
