Oh Whitney, the legend you are:clap3:

Should've replaced That trashy Kelly Clarkson song with How wil I know and then the Top 10 would've been pretty good.

the list is still a mess (love her but Kelly has no business in the top 20 when CIL, Umbrella, Take on me among literally hundreds of classics are right there. my life would suck without you is the better song anyways) but glad to see Whitney at #1. i was afraid they would forget this gem for a second.

It’s the same pop tracks critics have been praising for the last 15 years.  I would have liked a more unique and eclectic mix.  
 

it’s not “bad” though.

Wait no Hung Up or Say It Right or Gimme More?

 

The #1 is amazing and they picked the right winner because I Wanna Dance with Somebody is one of the most timeless pop anthems ever and the biggest 80s female smash for a reason

Only in a Rolling Stone list would Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" rank above all of Janet Jackson's immaculate discography. :rip: Never stop, RS.

This is a flop list. But honestly, who cares about their opinions? They don't represent the GP or anything.
