Rih is really PERCHED, huh?

[SouravMay]

They coulda added ?Necessary? and ?True?

[BAPHOMET.]

58. Beyonc?, "Smash Into You" (I Am... Sasha Fierce, 2008)

Lolz glad someone sees the greatness

her best song ever

[BAPHOMET.]

59. Mariah Carey, "I'm That Chick" (E=MC2, 2008)

Disco Mariah only comes around every so often, and when received it must be cherished. The velvet-smooth groove and sublime, xylophone-traced chorus hook of "I'm That Chick" couldn't have been much further from the grand ballads that made MC's previous album her biggest in a decade, so E=MC2 understandably eschewed it as a single. But a decade later, you might have trouble naming a second single from this album, even as the ice-cream-like flavor from "Chick" still lingers on your tongue. -- A.U.

of ALL Mariah songs.

35. Rihanna, "Watch N' Learn" (Talk That Talk, 2011)

[MAY]

27. Janet Jackson, "LUV" (Discipline, 2008)

BITCH!!!!!

[Vonc2002]

Best song on ANTI, tbh!

this is not Desperado

Not this incoherent ass drunk knowing what's what. Do better guys

5. Rihanna, "Desperado" (ANTI, 2016)

Rihanna goes on the lam in this sinister, sexy ANTI vibe about the push and pull of a relationship. Whether the narrative and its myth-like ?old Monte Carlo? are literal or metaphorical is up to you, and the ability to pull off both is just what makes the song so excellent. Sure, its loose, rambling structure and dramatic storyline might not fit the bill of a conventional single. But ?Desperado? stands out as a brilliantly crafted mini-drama unto itself, and one that epitomizes the themes of isolation and distrust that define the 2016 album if you listen hard enough. One especially heartbreaking lyric sums it up: ?There ain?t nothing here for me anymore/ But I don?t want to be alone.? -- T.C.

This list

Billboard and these interns they have doing these "lists"

[XXX.]

#1 - "FREAKUM DRESS" - BEYONCE

The way I've had it on repeat ever since seeing this list.

A SONG!

These vocals on the bridge.  These belts & wails!

ACCKKKKK!

She did that!

Nobody will ever sing over an uptempo like Beyonc?!

I need this energy on the next album.

[Vonc2002]

I LOVE this song and still believe this is the best 3rd release outta all the trinity girls

33. Aaliyah, "Loose Rap" (Aaliyah, 2001)

Saying Aaliyah came into her own with her third album would erroneously imply she was ever anywhere else; still, if the preternatural assuredness of her self-titled album didn't stun relative to the rest of her catalog, it certainly did compared to turn-of-the-millennium R&B at large. In an era where scrubs were getting it from all corners, Aaliyah highlight "Loose Rap" brushed off false male bravado without so much as a hair flip, Babygirl commenting "You could come better than that" out of an empathetic desire not so much to keep her own night hassle-free, but to save you from embarrassing yourself for once. -- A.U.

Loose Rap is everything god meant to be real

The list is missing madonna?s nothing fails

54. Ariana Grande, "Knew Better/Forever Boy" (Dangerous Woman, 2016)

With Dangerous Woman, Ariana Grande fully shed the "mini-Mariah" image and became her own independent pop star with a cohesive vision. In an album dripping with sensuality, two-part album cut "Knew Better/Forever Boy" is the rare electro&B joint that's as much a bedroom jam as it is a sweet love letter to a soulmate. ? J. Lynch
