Submitted. Nostalgia ruled my list once again. I doubt my #1 wins but I hope this won't devolve into a predictable Whitney v. Mariah showdown.  |

Working on it. I swear each time I look at the selections I have a completely different rankdown. I love nearly everyone of these songs. Today's extras are by this hip hop act from NYC. The third single from their Blacks' Magic album peaked at #32 on the R&B chart and #21 on the Hot 100. Was it a pattern for SNP to do better on the Hot 100 than R&B? I didn't realize. |

Patti looks sexy AF on that thumbnail...and I love that song. Should've went to #1 so should SLYB. |

Of their songs that charted on the Hot 100 and R&B, it's almost a 50/50 split. "Expression", "Shoop", "Ain't Nuthin' But a She Thing", and "Gitty Up" performed better at R&B, and "Whatta Man" had the same peak on both charts. The rest did better on the Hot 100. |

First two extras are by this trio who are also members of New Edition. Their album Poison produced 5 Top 10 hits on the R&B chart, including this song which peaked at #3.
When Will I See You Smile Again? - Bell Biv DeVoe
The final single from Poison peaked at #9 R&B.
She's Dope! - Bell Biv DeVoe
The song was originally titled "Dope!" but was changed because of the drug epidemic among children at the time.
Finally, the first charted single and biggest hit by this brotherly duo from Jersey City. It peaked at #16 on the R&B chart and was the first #1 on the Hot 100 when it made the switch to Soundscan. Samples "True" by Spandau Ballet, "Ashley's Roachclip" by The Soul Searchers, and Bob James' version of "Take Me To The Mardi Gras".

Shocked Set Adrift On Memory Bliss peaked so low on R&B but it was more of a rhythmic radio hit than an urban one, I think.

Damn, I ran out of time. If you can allow submissions through the end of the weekend, I can get it in, but I also understand if you're just ready to get things rolling.

I always thought “Special” was a Chaka Khan song.

"Optimistic" would've easily made my top 5 here had it made the list.
