I fear this may have been during the peak of my "IYBT is her only good era" phase

There's a few cute ones, mainly on IYBT and MLIYL

I'm a sucker for Until You Come Back, Anymore, and Oh Yes personally

She's not an albums girl. But you didn't hear that from me.

Oh, Whit was for sure a singles artist. Queen of albums being 4 singles and 8 filler tracks.

Hence me not talking about a full disc rate 🤭 Love her tho.

hey since MP2K has a r&b rate for 2012-2019, i like to request/pitch the idea of hosting a similar r&b rate focused on 2020-2025. i been wanting to do a rate for my r&b stans and since the year is almost over, i thought covering the first half of the decade would be exciting. also the user engagement might be stronger because listeners would be revisiting more recent material. lmk yall thoughts.

Oh, and "Leave The Door Open" will be dead last btw.

This was basically an album track (only promoted to R&B radio and dance clubs) and it's one of the best things she ever did:

I mean, "Residuals" will realistically be because it's Chris Brown, but never could stand Silk Sonic. What else is on the list?
