Catching up on the next 20 songs (60-41):
60. Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time (4): Ughh this is NOT a good way to start off my latest catch up. Ughh I can't believe BOMT is out and gone this soon. What is going on? :'( This is an iconic debut and memorable single from Britney. Really love this song a ton. It's so fun, catchy and launched her into superstardom. I heard this song a ton over the years and yeah it was overplayed at its peak, but I could never get tired of this. The 9th highest SD for this is also surprising to me.
59. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Tha Crossroads (13): Dangg, not another song where I am the highest ranker of. Ugh I am doing so terribly here. Again, this is another classic for me. Such a great and emotional and vulnerable hip-hop song. Just really love the sound, vibe, feel of this song and it's just so good. Sad to see this out so soon but guess I am not too surprised.
58. D'Angelo - Brown Sugar (55): I like this but this is a much better reveal than the last 2 songs lol. Though this also could have made it just 3 spots higher to give me a perfect ranking lol. But no, really, this is such a cool, smooth soulful song. It's a song I wish I had heard more but still like this.
57. Underworld - Born Slippy .NUXX (94): Okay finally a MUCH better reveal for me and glad to clear out another Bottom 10 song. Never knew this song beforehand but didn't care for this while listening to it. 6th highest SD is interesting here.
56. Mariah Carey/Ol' Dirty Bastard - Fantasy (Remix) (1): Danngg, when I saw that there was a #1 loss coming and that Mayman + I's ranking was #7 for this song, I had a bad feeling that I was gonna lose my #1... and lo and behold I was right. Dangg, this game is so different from the ones I'm used to with the songs I rank high, omg.
Well, at least people can't get mad at "Fantasy" winning again.
And oh wait, I listened to and ranked the regular version - didn't know we were ranking the remix, though I probably still would have placed this at #1. Ugh I absolutely this song and it's such a classic song that I can never get tired of. It's so fun, catchy and just a really great enjoyable song. Yay for no Bottom 10 ranks here, at least.
I knew my rankdown closeness would drop down a lot.... now down to #26 with a 29.66 score. Dangg I feel so embarrassed that my #1 is gone while my #100 is still in the game.
I'm shocked I still have 5 Top 10 songs left as I feel like I lost most of them. Also got 3 Bottom 10 songs left too.
55. The Notorious BIG/Mase/Diddy - Mo Money Mo Problems (16): Sigh, another song I love is out. Sad to see that but not surprised at this point. But yeah I still really love this song. It's such a fun song, a classic and just love the everything about this.
54. Beastie Boys - Sabotage (43): This is such a cool and fun song. I love the angsty and fun feel of this song. The music video is also really entertaining too. Not too mad at this ranking for it.
53. Sinead OConnor - Nothing Compares 2 U (26): This is a really gorgeous and moving song. I am surprised that this song didn't do much better and actually missed out making the top half. I do love this and think it's stunning.
52. Natalie Imbruglia - Torn (10): Ughh well there goes yet another Top 10 song of mine out now. Gahh sad to see this song go out right now. I really love this and think this is such a beautiful and stunning song. Natalie's vocals are so pure and lovely on this.
51. A Tribe Called Quest - Check The Rhime (66): I'm sure I have heard this before but not super familiar with it. It's a cool and good song and I like the sound of it. My lack of familiarity brought it down compared to the many songs I knew and loved.
50. Mary J Blige - Real Love (20): And welp, there goes yet another favorite song of mine. Ahh old school and classic MJB! This is such a funky, slick and great song from Mary J. Love her vocals here, love the beat and overall vibe of this song. It's just soo good - and another song that deserved better here.
49. Pulp - Common People (76): I wasn't too familiar with this song. It's okay but not a favorite of mine.
48. CeCe Peniston - Finally (34): Hmmm I'm kinda a little surprised with where I ranked this as I thought I ranked this higher. Anyway, this is a fun 90s House classic. Love the dance vibe of this and Cece kills it on those vocals!
47. TLC - No Scrubs (5): Ooh joy, yayy.... another Top 10, or rather yet Top 5, loss. Ughh. This is another late 90s iconic classic song that I absolutely love! I couldn't get enough of it back then and still can't now. I love what all of the ladies bring to the song and it's just such an insanely catchy song. Whhaatt at those #99 and #100 ranks + this having the 7th highest SD? I did not see those coming.
46. Aaliyah - Are You That Somebody? (3): Oooh dear when I saw "Mayman + beyoncelover 2," I knew this would not be good news for me. And danggg.... it's my #3. Goooshhh.... I am just losing alll of my all-time favorite songs back to back, back to back, ugh. This is so painful. This is another classic and iconic song that I absolutely LOVE and just could never get enough of. It makes me sooo happy. Love how Aaliyah sings the song, love the music video, love the production/beat, just everything about this is timeless.
45. Daft Punk - Around The World (57): Okay, well this is a much better reveal, at least. I wasn't too familiar with this Daft Punk song, but this is a fun and catchy song. I liked it and could like it more with some more listens.
44. A Tribe Called Quest/Busta Rhymes/Dinco D/Charlie Brown - Scenario (48): Dangg, just 4 spots off from a perfect rank. Gah this could have dropped down just 4 extra spots lol. This is a really cool, slick song. I like the vibe of this and what all of the rappers bring to the song. It's just such a cool song.
43. Dr Dre/Snoop Dogg - Still DRE (41): Dangg and now I am just 2 spots off from a perfect ranking. Dang I just can't buy a perfect rank to save my life.
This is such a cool and slick jam! Love the slick production and love how Dre and Snoop rap on this song. It's another one of those feel good jams that I just really enjoy a lot.
42. Deee-Lite - Groove is in the Heart (46): This is a really fun, cute dancey song. It's never been a huge favorite of mine but it's always been one of those songs I just enjoy listening to. It's fun, cute and so groovy.
41. The Cardigans - Lovefool (19): Ahh also really love and adore this song too. It's so fun, cute and catchy. I love the light, breezy and poppy feel of this song. It's another one of those songs that just makes me so happy whenever I listen to it. It's just so good and fun!
Shocked how my rankdown closeness ranking went up to #24 but not surprised my score got worse with a 27.81. Ugh still at 0 perfect ranks. OMGG I am still one of the only 3 rankers with their #100 in? omg I am such a mess here, lmaoo. Wow now I got 3 Bottom 10 ranks which is more than my 2 Top 10 ranks left, omggg. I am doing TERRIBLY here.
