Blame the new crew! But yes, a return to 3 album rates is on the horizon.

Oh wait add Kate to the first rate and Cyndi to the second.

 

Or @Eeveelution's idea for rate 1 and everyone else for rate 2!

Have we gone over 1999 yet? Breathe vs. Kaleidoscope vs. Mary vs. On How Life Is vs. When the Pawn... (We do not need to rate Britney, Xtina, or J.Lo again, and we can leave Rainbow at the wayside. There's always To Venus and Back, Da Real World, and Central Reservation too but this one seems like a hard sell as is)

Unfortunately. Can't say it won't be deserved. #Braxton&JacksonSweep.

Sarah wasn't really top of the pops until Surfacing, but we will forgive for the "Throb"/"Strong Enough"/"Possession" top three. (Yes, I know "If" is perfect, but she's had her flowers.)

"Anytime You Need a Friend" should be top ten!

"Anytime You Need a Friend" should be top ten!

"Now That I Know" as well! Everything else should be in the first ten cut. ("Dreamlover" a perfect number 13.)

@Eeveelution has solidified himself as the second best rate host in ATRL history (we all know who is number one, and it's not me!)

 

But 1997MTW part one has BROKEN ME. So revised lineups for the 90s below (93's already taken care of):

92MTW

 

What's the 411 v. Diva v. Ingenue v. Erotica v. Come on Come On (Mary Chapin-Carpenter, you heathens) v. Little Earthquakes)

 

94MTW

 

My Live v. Brandy v. Under The Pink v. KM94 v. Bedtime Stories 

 

97MTW 2 ( @Eeveelution you take the reigns of this one to get over your trauma!)

 

Left of the Middle v. Let's Talk About Love v. Share My World v. Supa Duma Fly v. Surfacing 

 

98MTW 1

 

Believe v. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road v. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill v. My Love is Your Love v. Ray of Light

 

98MTW2 

 

A Rose is Still a Rose v. The Boy is Mine v. Faith v. Keep The Faith v. Never Say Never
