Great list. I don’t even know what the last place for the Rankdown will be cause it doesn’t seem like it is obvious.

Gimme The Light is nice and underrated, had a weird chart run I believe. Also I’ll send soon and get it over with cause I know all the songs.

Aww I'm kinda disappointed with the lack of number #1s here as there are a lot of great R&B, HIp-Hop and rap songs from 2002. So many more songs I would have liked seeing represented here but oh well.
I like all of the extras posted so far:
Gimme The Light - Sean Paul
Still Fly - Big Tymers
Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against The Wall) - Mystikal
This should be an easy list to work on as I know and like all 10 songs and it's a short list. My Top 5 is sooo obvious here - as songs I really love, haha. I think I'll be able to submit my list shortly, in fact.
