I agree but Monica should'nt be top 10

I agree but Monica should'nt be top 10

This is based upon chart success on the R&B song and album charts. Monica is right up there in all fairness.

GHan curb stompin the gorls out I see

[Ulysses]

Im surprised to see T-boz above Janet. I realize CrazySexyCool was massive, but I thought that was because of the pop charts with Waterfalls.

[Kalifornia.]

I still don't see how Whitney gets to claim a soundtrack as her album.

Waterfalls didn't take off until the video was released. Radio was reluctant to play at the time.

I don't see why not? She's on the bulk of the album anyway.

I would have to politely disagree with this statement unless you have evidence of such

6 out of 12 songs isn't enough to claim the whole album imo, but dew.

On Clive Davis [the head of Arista Records in 1995] not wanting to release "Waterfalls" as a single:

"I don't think he really got the song at the time. 'Creep' was still out and he loved 'Creep,' so when he heard 'Waterfalls,' I don't think he understood why we were so excited about it. But we were very adamant about doing a video for the song. We begged [co-founder of LaFace Records, a joint venture with Arista Records] L.A. Reid, 'Please! We have to do this!' Once the song was out, it actually wasn't doing that great at radio. I think it simply was because people didn't understand it. They were like, 'Don't go chasing waterfalls? Huh? What do you mean?' So Lisa wrote a note on a poster board asking him to let us do the video and gave it to L.A. ― I think he has it to this day ― and we were like, 'Please! You don't understand how important it is that we get this video out!' But we've all had to work so hard and kick so many doors down, so this was just another battle for us. I never spoke to Clive about how he felt about the song's success but I know he was definitely proud of what came out of it [laughs]."
