Would love to do Justine too because that EP is fun, but because it's an EP it feels a little more negligible. Sorry @MP2K.

Just add another EP to add it up to full

The 7 gorls on here do like Chxrry

So, if I were to do a This Was(n't?) R&B for 2026, what line-up would we be feeling?

I think Alewya, Dawn, Kelela, the two Naomis (Scott and Sharon), Ravyn, and Tinashe are the contenders. Unless I'm forgetting someone obvious.

Depending on whether any of those make the This Was 2026 rate(s) and are booked for that instead, of course.

Naomi Scott (and of course Tinashe) please! I had F.A.G on loop for a while week when I first heard it! Would love to see how it does in a rate (and for more people to know her music.)

iKeda is coming

Thanks for the feedback. I thought ATRL might not be interested in a full Michelle discog as 3/4 albums are gospel, so thought I'd do a deep dive into her pop era and see how that goes

Ohhh gospel. The last time I listened to Gospel music was Lady Saw from the International Madonna rate who's a former full on sexualize rapper turned gospel singer so that's something...

Yeah, I guess a focus on her pop era would be better, I'm just curious if there are enough tracks to constitute a rate from that era. Hopefully there are enough.

And if I said I would take part in a Ms. Kelly vs. Unexpected vs. Lady Love rate

I can think of somebody else who needs a discography rate

Ohhhhhh! This got me curious on how the other DC member's solo music sound like. I'd be up for that too!

Let's wait for the album sis, you know Tinashe always works better in the context of an album rather than her singles.

Yes please! That would be a massive undertaking and I can't have that as my first time hosting a rate. I'd drown.

Go ahead and ask grandpa Ace for me.

Wait... Y'all aren't gonna wait for the new album to drop before you do the rate? (I guess it will be even longer with the new 16 tracks but still...)

Not like any of it will be bothering the top 40.

We're actually going to get the rate up and running exactly one day after the album drops, as is tradition now

might as well ask Freaky Prince to host it

Posting the bottom 10 all in one post as just bullet points was kind of camp why lie

and the concept of giving your favorite song a 20.. like maybe let's actually start doing that and see how it ends up

When I start letting the host give a 50 in my next rate, wonder if it'll catch on
