Ooh wow I never made the connection that "Take Me Out" was interpolated in "Excuse Me Miss." Now hearing both songs in my head, I can totally hear it.

If I am not mistaken, this may be the first R&B Number 1s Rankdown where every song made a Year End List. Correct me if I am wrong.

If I am not mistaken, this may be the first R&B Number 1s Rankdown where every song made a Year End List. Correct me if I am wrong. Looking back it appears that 1996 was the first year that all the songs appeared on a Hot 100 Year-End list. It also happened for 1997 and 1998. |

Put It On Me: Another felt like a #1 song due to airplay. lol. I can't unhear Lil' Mo when I listen to the album version. That just shows how big her contribution was to the single version.
Son Of A Gun: I've always preferred the original/Flyte Tyme remix. Nice use of the "You're So Vain" sample. This should've been as big as "All For You" imo.
Livin It Up: I still love it. I listen to it more than "Always On Time" and "Down Ass Chick" nowadays.
Girls Girls Girls: A bop but pre-Beyonce Jay-Z was something else. lol.
The selections so far have been great.
