I don't know why I continue to be surprised at Pulse rankers' general disdain of male r&b ballads but just know that y'all are not seeing the pearly gates as of tuh-DAY

Today's extra was the breakthrough hit for this singer/jazz guitarist from Pittsburgh. Reaching #3 on the soul chart and #10 on the Hot 100, it won the Grammy for Record Of The Year and was nominated for Song Of The Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. It was written and first recorded by Leon Russell, and also covered by Helen Reddy and The Carpenters.

Sophiscated Lady isn't a bad song, but it's not Natalie Cole persay. I can see the song perfectly fitting an act like The Isley Brothers

Disco Lady deserves justice cause it did not deserve to get out so early.

Welcome back! The song at #15 actually has the same number of points as #16. While they each have a #1, this song is placed higher because it has more Top 5s, seven in fact. It also has seven bottom 5s, and as a result has the highest SD.

More importantly...how the FUCK is Rubberband Man (LOL) this close to the Top 10, edging out classics like Kiss and Say Goodbye and Just To Be Close To You and Inseparable?? Unreal.

Yeah I'm not a fan of that one. But Disco Lady, KASG, WAFL, Love Ballad, and Rubberband Man deserve justice

Y'all really let "Play That Funky Music" into the top ten...that's just egregious

Some of these basics in the top 10...I can't but also, not surprised at all. The lowest common denominator usually prevails. Shocked that Dazz Dazz Disco Jazz is still here, but I love that song, LOL.

Car Wash and Play That Funky Music are the only ones that don't deserve to be in the top ten. The rest I can see
