I'm so bad at catching up here but finally ready to catch up here!
30. Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet's Back) (9): Ooh it's interesting how this barely beat *NSYNC's song. Aww I do wish this had done a little better but glad it made it to the Top 30. I do really love this song and think it's one of the best/one of my favorites from the Backstreet Boys. This is a really fun sng with an iconic music video.
29. KP & Envyi - Swing My Way (61): Ooh wow, this having the highest SD is really shocking to me. This is one of those songs I always forget about but I always really like/enjoy this whenever I hear this. This is a really smooth, cool jam and I do really like this a lot. The no rankings from #49 to #60 spots is rally crazy to me here haha.
28. Big Pun f/ Joe - Still Not a Player (45): This is such a jam and a banger. Love this song and it's such a fun song. Ugh I hate not being able to rank this any higher but just proves how stacked this list was for me. But it's such a fun song. Yayy for no Bottom 10 ranks.
27. Destiny's Child f/ Wyclef Jean - No, No, No (Part 2) (27): Aww yayy the song that introduced me to Destiny's Child!
Love this song and this was a great way to introduce the ladies to the music scene. This is a really cool and funky jam. I love it though I love other songs more from them. But yayy me getting another perfect ranking here with 4 other people! Yay for no Bottom 10 ranks for this too.
26. 2Pac f/ Eric Williams - Do for Love (68): This is a really cool jam from 2Pac. Not one of my top favorites from him but still a song I really like from him. Enjoyed the music video too.
25. Third Eye Blind - How's It Going to Be (53): I don't know why but I'm kinda surprised this made it this high? But not too mad as I do really like this song a lot. It's a really chill, nice and mellow song. It's different from their other big hits - though I love those other songs more than this, lol.
24. INOJ - Love You Down (81): This is a pretty cool, chill and pretty song. I like it but don't like it nearly as much as most people here. Well done to this making it so high though.
23. Shania Twain - You're Still the One (5): Aww boo, bummer at this showing up and missing the Top 20. I really love and adore this song. It's the song that introduced me to Shania Twain and is my favorite song of hers. This song is just so gorgeous, stunning and classic.
22. Sarah McLachlan - Adia (44): Wow kinda surprised to see this make it so high with just 3 Top 10 rankings. But this is such a lovely, stunning and beautiful song from Sarah. I also like how this song has a bit of tempo in it too. One of my favorites from Sarah McLachlan. Yay for no Bottom 10s here.
21. Busta Rhymes - Turn It Up (Remix)/Fire It Up (87): Ooh dear, I don't like being the second lowest ranker for this, lmaoo. Well, I do like this and think it's a cool and fun song. Not one of my favorites from Busta but not one of my least faves from him either. Again, it's just a song I don't love as much as most people do.
Lol of my Bottom 10s remaining, I still can't believe my last placed ranking made it to the Top 20, omg...
I am soo off base here hahaha. 17 out of 20 Top half ranks isn't too bad but 4 out of 10 Top 10 ranks isn't too great.
20. Monifah - Touch It (42): Oooh I wasn't expecting this to make the Top 20 but I'm not mad about it. This is a really hot and fun song. Love this and another song I wish I could have ranked higher.
19. Aretha Franklin - A Rose Is Still a Rose (85): Wow it's really great how this song made it to the Top 20 despite not having any Top 10 rankings. That's really impressive. Ugh nooo at me being the lowest ranker here. I do still like this and think it's a cool song... and especially cool seeing the Queen of Soul Aretha having a modern hit at the time.
18. Mariah Carey - My All (13): Awww I would have loved seeing this making it a little higher here but glad to see this still make the Top 20. This is a really stunning and gorgeous song. I do really love this from Mariah.
17. Loreena McKennitt - The Mummers' Dance (102): OMGGG FINALLLY my #102 shows itself. Okay, I'll admit that this is a really unique and interesting song and it does stand out. But sadly, I just didn't like or get this song at all. Just not for me but it's cool that a lot of people liked it to get it this high.
16. Usher - You Make Me Wanna... (8): This is such a classic Usher jam! Really love this song a ton and think this is a great one. It's one of my many favorites and standouts from Usher. I wish this could have made it to the Top 10 but #16 is still really good.
15. Pras f/ Ol' Dirty Bastard & Mya - Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are) (10): LMAOO yeah that single cover is rather hilarious, hahaha. But yayy glad to see this song do really well enough to make it to the Top 15! I do really love this and what all 3 artists bring to this song. Again, I wish this could have ranked higher to make it to the Top 10 but #15 is still great. WHoaa lowest ranking at #70? So yayy for no Bottom 30 ranks for this!
14. Missy Elliott f/ Da Brat - Sock It 2 Me (64): This is a really cool jam from Missy. And as always to be expected, she has a great iconic music video to match with the song which helps elevate the song. But yeah not one of my favorites from Missy but still really like this.
13. Deborah Cox - Nobody's Supposed to Be Here (21): Oooh yess, really love this and think this is such a gorgeous and powerful song from Deborah Cox. I love the emotional connection she has her and her vocal performance is absolutely insane. Great song and happy to see this do so well here. Yay for no Bottom 25 ranks!
12. Chumbawamba - Tubthumping (12): Oooh nice yayy another perfect ranking I got here! I really love this song a ton. It's so fun, catchy and addiciting... and it's just one of those fun classic ultimate party songs. I thought this would have been more polarizing and would have been lower so I'm glad that's not the case.
11. Jennifer Paige - Crush (14): Aww I'm sad to see this miss making the Top 10 but at least it wasn't one of my Top 10 songs, I guess. This is a really cute, pretty song and I do really adore it. I wish Jennifer Paige could have had more hits but at least she's got this song! Yay for no Bottom 15 ranks.
My remaining Top 10s:
1, 2
11, 15, 20
25, 29, 30
32
51
I do love all of these songs and really like/love my #51, so I'm not mad at this Top 10 even though I'm sad to have lost most of my biggest favorites.
10. Monica - The First Night (15): Oooh I do really love this song and am so surprised but so glad to see this making it to the Top 10. Monica had an insane trifecta of hits from her 'The Boy Is Mine' era and this is one of those fantastic songs to show that off. Love the beat, the message, the vocals and just everything here.
9. Robyn - Show Me Love (30): Love this song too and glad to see it doing so well. Maybe not quite a Top 10 song for me but it's still great and I do love it. It's still my favorite song from Robyn.
8. Next - Too Close (2): Ahh this song is such a jam, a banger and an absolute classic for me! I've always loved and jammed out so much to this song - even when I was probably too young to be listening to this and def not understanding the message of it, lmao. But yeah this song is such a classic and I can never get tired of this no matter how much I heard this. So glad that this made it into the Top 10! Niceee at no Bottom 45 rankings for this! I was not expecting that.
7. The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony (29): Whoaa 4 #1s for this song is very impressive but ouch at that #101. I do really love this song and think this is such a great song. Love the opera music production mixed in with the rock sound/vocals. This is just a really cool and great song.
6. Janet Jackson f/ Blackstreet - I Get Lonely (32): Lovee this song and think this is such a smooth silky and slick song from Janet. I love both the solo version and Blackstreet remix version of this song. It's just so goood, smooth and catchy. But of the two Janet songs, I'm glad that this was the first song to show up here.
Top 5: 1, 11, 20, 25, 51
5. Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life (25): Nicee to see this having the 6th lowest SD. I really love this song from Third Eye Blind. I think this is a really fun, catchy and entertaining song. I just love the sound/vibe of this and it's one of my favorites from Third Eye Blind.
4. Madonna - Ray of Light (11): Yayy at this getting 3 #1 rankings. But ughh nooo at this showing up before "Frozen." I was really hoping this could have beaten out that song but sadly no luck. But yeah I absolutely looove this song a ton. It's such a trippy, insane song that really takes you on a wild ride and experience, and so does the music video. This is up there as one of my ultimate favorite Madonna songs. Still #11 is fantastic for this.
3. Brandy & Monica - The Boy Is Mine (1): Ugh nooooo, this was sooo close to making it to the Top 2 and winning. Absolutely LOVE and adore this collaboration so much. Brandy & Monica both crush and slay it on this song and love what they both bring connection-wise and vocally. Also slayy Private Dancer ranking this at #1 too. But whhattt at that #99? I do not get that.
Ughh now it's my #20 vs. #51. Nooot that good at all, especially having just lost my #1, ugh. But def rooting for my #20 now.
2. Madonna - Frozen (51): Gah oh my at my least favorite song of this Top 10 making it to 2nd, lmaoo. This is a gorgeous, haunting and beautiful song from Madonna. I do range from sometimes really liking this or loving this - it's like that in between stage. But yeah I do like the dark and mysterious feel of this. It's a lovely song and one of my favorite slower songs from Madonna. Also 7 #1s for this is really impressive!
1. Janet Jackson - Together Again (20): Well, I'm glad that at least this won over "Frozen."And wow 10 #1s for this song is really incredible! I do really adore and love this song from Janet. I do think this is such a fun, feel good, adorable and lovely song from Janet. I love how fun and upbeat this is as it has that positive and uplifting feel/message to it. I am not surprised to see this pull out the win. I wish I could have given this a better ranking as I do love this but ugh this list was just too stacked.
My favorite extras:
Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
Gloria Estefan - Heaven's What I Feel
Spice Girls - Stop
Tamia - So Into You
