I put hoes in NY onto DKNY
Miami, D.C. prefer Versace
All Philly hoes know it's Moschino
Every cutie wit a booty bought a Coogi

20. Right Here (Human Nature) - SWV: Ah I do really like this and think this is a great, smooth jam. I like this enough for a #37 ranking. Sadly, it's just not one of my very favorites or biggest standouts here but it's still great. Also a great start for me as this is my 2nd lowest rank of this Top 20.

19. Poison - Bell Biv DeVoe: Ooof wow, it's crazy going from the 2nd lowest SD to the highest SD. I didn't know or expect this song to be so polarizing on here, which is kinda sad to see. :( Ooh wow, I kinda forgot that I didn't place this in my Top 10 and that I ranked this at #11 instead. :o Ah I thought I ranked this even higher than where I did but guess not. Ugh, sad I had no space for it because this song is an absolute classic and I absolutely love it. I wish this could have made it a little higher up but glad to see this make the Top 20, as it deserves to.

18. Nuthin' But a "G" Thang - Dr. Dre (feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg): A rap classic! Love this song and enough so to give it a #29 rank. This song also did much better than I expected as I thought some other rap songs would have outranked this. Oooh, also of my Top 18, this is my 3rd lowest remaining so I'm more okay with this showing up now.

17. Hypnotize - The Notorious B.I.G.: Lovee this song and it's another one of the many classic jams here. I've always loved this and enough so to give this a #14 ranking. I could never get tired of this. Biggie had a number of great jams but I think this song always stood out as my favorite from him.

16. My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) - En Vogue: Ughh noo, this was my biggest and toughest loss of today's reveal. Which is a real bummer as this is my #6. I absolutely love this song. It's iconic, classic and such a great jam from En Vogue. This song has always stood out as my favorite song of theirs. It's sassy, fun, catchy and just can't get enough of this.

Remaining numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10
13, 18, 19
22, 25, 27, 28
32
46

Well at least I still got my Top 5 in tact. I hope that they can all make the Top 10!

[B-Boy]

I love Mariah and Janet, but I'm waiting for their pre-1993 singles to exit. lol.

[🇯🇲 dollybaby 🇯🇲]

I'm waiting on Fantasy to exit very soon. I was very happy to see Always Be My Baby go out the door. I strongly prefer her pre-95 singles over them. 

As for Janet, I am fine with her remaining songs staying longer in the countdown. 

[khan]

Okay there are far too many hip-hop classics missing the top fifteen.

Probably one of my least favorite Mariah number 1s honestly. Oops this was actually Lisa’s 1, yikes. My prediction was wrong.

Aw man :(

I have my 2, 3, 5, 10, 14, 15, 22, 23, 38, and 47 (💀) left.

[312999]

Just like the 90s Billboard Rankdown, only 1 male made it to the top 10. But at least it is a good respectable well deserved song again though.

[beyoncelover]

15. You're Makin' Me High - Toni Braxton: I really love this and think this is such a fun, hot, steamy and sexy song from Toni. Ugh I am already so mad and disappointed with myself with the #19 ranking, as I feel and want to rank this even higher. Ugh why do the songs on this list have to be so good? lmao. I do wish some of my lower ranks could have shown up before this song but this is still a good spot for this song.

14. Emotions - Mariah Carey: Considering how easily targeted and how soon the 1991 songs went out, "Emotions" really held its own and pulled through for that year. I'm glad it was the last song standing from that year as I do believe it was my favorite there? I do love this song, enough so for a #25 ranking. But of the remaining Mariah songs, I was waiting and rooting for this to show up so I'm happy it did. This is a great, fun uptempo song with amazing vocals from Mariah. Oh and happy anniversary to her today too.

13. Escapade - Janet Jackson: Oooh phew, yay finally. Not to sound mean as I do like this song but with this being my #46 and the last of my bottom 10 remaining, I was waiting for this song to show up, lol. Ouch at me being the lowest ranker here but I did expect that. This is a really fun, cute and enjoyable song from Janet. I get the love for it but it's just one of those songs that never really clicked for me in the sense of loving it. But I get that it's a classic and others do love it. But I'm good with this missing the Top 10.

12. Vision Of Love - Mariah Carey: Well okay, I'm shocked to see this miss the Top 10 as I thought this would be a shoo in to make it there. :o I think Mariah only got 1 song left, which is a bit surprising. I do really love this song and it's such a great debut single that put Mariah on the map. I love the soul, emotion and especially the vocals she delivers. This song is and will always be a classic! This was my #18 and also another song I wish I could have ranked higher.

11. No Diggity - Blackstreet feat. Dr. Dre: Ahh danggg, I was SO close to getting all of my Top 5 into the Top 10. So for this to miss out making the Top 10 by 2 points is disappointing. :( This is my #5 so I absolutely love this song. This song is such a classic jam! I was obsessed with it and will always love and jam out to this whenever I hear it. Ugh I'm so sad to see this miss the Top 10 but I am glad that this did make it this far. I'm also glad this was the highest 1996 song as I believe this was my #1 for that year too.

Remaining numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 10
13
22, 27, 28
32

I'm really happy that my Top 4 still remains intact and that I got 5 of my Top 10 remaining! Rooting for any of my Top 4 songs to win - though I think I'll be happy with anything from my Top 20 winning.
