I will be ranking the fantastic remix of "Let's Get Married." So will I. It makes the song great. That’s what it always plays on the radio as well. I always thought that was the original too when I was younger. |

I remember this year all too well.
A majority of the songs on the list felt big, especially “Let’s Get Married”. Both versions of that song stayed in heavy rotation. All of them hold up today.

Sent my rankings!
Ah I really like or love a good majority of these songs! I remembered them all well (except for one song). It was fun re-living through all of these songs and ranking them. I look forward to seeing how they all rank here.

"Shake Ya Ass" and "What's Your Fantasy" received soooo much airplay, or at least it felt like they did, I would've thought they went #1 on the chart.

The court eventually ruled in Jay's favor. |
